It's a good thing we've gotten rid of that pesky "Innocent before proven guilty" nonsense.
Ping. Apparently it's now illegal to carry large sume of cash.
I'm not defending the DEA because I don't like their methods here either but I also think the woman is full of crap.
I agree. How far will our rights have to be infringed upon before people get upset and do something?
A few years ago I went out to buy a used truck and discovered that spending over $10K in cash is also a big no no. Tyrants. I'd like to see her T&A, the agent might have had a point in that regard.
She has a large amount of money, so she's a drug dealer.
I have no money - so it follows then that I am a drug addict?
Therefore - the money she had must be mine. Who do I have to contact to get it back?

but its ok, because drugs are bad, right? lol
She will have her day in court, however, does it make sense to you that someone who has worked several jobs to support her family has almost $50,000 to spend on plastic surgery? On top of that, how spectacular would her new boobs have to be to cost that much?
she planned to use for a procedure on her buttocks and breasts...
I gonna call "Bull$41t" on this.
Hold it! Duh! Here's the way to have handled it (not her tits and ass -- not allowed): DEA guys whisper amongst themselves, get on her tail (figuratively), and let her lead them to the truth. It is bizarre behavior, so who knows what the truth of the matter is?
I am unable to reach a decision in this matter without further evidence. I want to see her exposed breasts and buttocks, too! Then I'll be able to decide if she is guilty or innocent.
Uh-oh; conflicting story says she was hiding the money in her bra (imagine the top-heavy appearance!) :)

I'm not generally a lawsuit-friendly type of person, but I think she ought to sue the DEA and that agent personally. Using his position of authority to ask her to strip for him is really what puts this over the top. This guy shouldn't be anywhere near a position of authority if he can't handle the responsibility. How many of you guys would have beat the living hell out of him if he'd looked over your wife's body, told her it was nice, then asked her to take off her clothes?
