I wonder how many of those highway cash seizures are actually bribes. In the accounts I've read about, the driver is free to go on his merry way.
Just tell the mule to take this here $200,000 and drive on I-70 east from Columbus. Meantime, someone is tipped off to be on the lookout for this vehicle on I-70. Voila - a "legal" bribe.
A decent *possibility*. When you have lots of cash flowing, bribes are a normal business practice.
