In Michigan, law enforcement agencies generally get to keep 90 percent of the proceeds from forfeitures they initiate, which is even more generous than the 80 percent they can expect from forfeitures "adopted" by the Justice Department through its "equitable sharing" program.

What more motivation do they need to take someone's cash based on not a proven case but an allegation.

Where does one go to get a doctorate in the non-ability to
easily think simple things out?

For leisure travel, stay the F out of airports.

Plan a better driving trip.

And whatever you do don't get pulled over by a highway robber patrolman.

“People regularly fly with large amounts of cash for a wide variety of completely legitimate reasons...”

Yeah, go try to fly with a bar of gold and the airline is going to say it’s “over the carry-on limit”.

“get to keep 90 percent of the proceeds”

They’ve basically put a bounty on the citizenry.

Well, Michigan is rather close to Canada and this idea is a lot like Trudeau would do.

Someone should have told the Uvalde cops that the school shooter was traveling with $5000 in cash. They would have gone in immediately.

“How did they get so twisted?”

Humans are born twisted, we need God to straighten us out. This is what happens when society abandons God.

The same civil forfeiture system is in place, no matter where you are found.

Our bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’Ts that control our legislature allowed this garbage to pass.

This is just another example of what is in store for us if the bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’Ts are not politically slaughtered

Just another bit of impetus to bring on the mark of the beast....

Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
