Ayala's license plates were expired, his driver's license was suspended and he should have been driving with a breath-alcohol ignition device.
Despite finding no drugs the state petitioned to keep the cash. District Judge Brenda Gilbert sided with the state and ordered Ayala to relinquish the money on Oct. 27, 2014.
Don't agree with what they did, but it wasn't "the state" or "the cops" that were responsible. Thank good Judge Brenda.
So, you think it is okay for the cops to steal his money, based on trumped up drug charges that had nothing to do with the violations you just mentioned? Really?
How's about a blast from the (recent) past?:
We need to lose a lot of the "policing". They have NO "duty" to do anything other than punch a clock, as per the Supreme Court. And there's WAY too many of them.
Panopticon bad.
