Do you always drive the speed limit?

That’s illegal behavior.

So if you break the speed limit laws, are you inclined to break other laws as well - as you claim?

As far as having to prove his innocence to get his money back, you have it completely backwards. The government is required by the constitution to prove his guilt before punishing him. You know, that presumption of innocence thing...

This is wrong and there is no excuse for it.

"That’s illegal behavior."

It's also an immoral behavior and shows lack of integrity (what you do when no one is looking).

If I had 400k in my car, you'd better believe I'd be driving the speed limit.

From the story... Police originally took the money after finding marijuana inside Ricks’ home, which Ricks said he had to help manage pain. “I smoke marijuana. I have arthritis. I have shingles, a hip replacement,” he said.

Gosh, don't see any innocence being contended here. Only question is where the money came from. The person killed was Jyhno Rock, who was 31 when he died. When Jyhno was 18, he shot and killed a girl in the parking lot of his high school with a gun which was never recovered. He claimed the shooting was accidental, and police believed it. He lived in Tennessee just before the shooting - now why was he up in Ohio breaking into a guy's house who just happened to have 400k sitting in the safe? Probably saw Mr. Ricks speeding on the highway and just assumed he had a safe full of cash at home.
