Forfeiture laws lead to corruption like this.
Never forget the WOD is all for the children...
Bumped for later read
On the contrary. These anti-4th Amendment laws were passed under the Reagan administration as a weapon in the "war on drugs."
Any time you carry a large sum of cash, it's subject to seizure and forfeiture without cause thanks to this insanity.

County Constables?
Around here, those are the guys who after you run them off the road, you back up and throw your empty beer bottle at them.
They're just some thief's fat useless brother in law.
what about in Vegas?
They always have. My son over the Christmas break was stopped by Texas trooper for speeding on motorcycle(60 in a 55 zone) and he threatened to shoot my son if he tried to run. They were already stopped beside the road with their helments off!! No speeding ticket but a chewing out that a marine DI would be proud of. Inspection sticker had expired though, $135.00 ticket.
Beats me. I don't work for LVPD.
This was extremely common in Louisiana along the I-10 corridor until it got national coverage.

There's two types of cops in this world --those who have been caught in their lies and those who have yet to be caught.
In Texas, we have officers of the court and their crews patrolling, issuing citations, and basically confiscating citizen assets to fund their existence.
Forfeiture is an illegal taking.
I don't care what the Supremes say.
