Sounds like another house for sale in Southaven.
Odd, I thought seizing drug money was legal. Any money the police claim is drug money.
How did these guys pas the litaracy test to become cops in the first place. Any fool knows that placing $15,000 a week in cash in a bank sets off the pinball machine down at police headquarters. All the bells and whistles go off and the dancing girls come out.
Sounds like they didn't pay off the inmates, narcotics dealers, and other criminal defendants enough. Of course one would have hoped their chief would have noticed something a long time ago.
According to this story, depositing $15 grand a week in a bank account didn't set off alarms with our stupid federal bureaucrats. The drooling idiots in congress set up a system to flag suspicious banking activity. I can't withdraw a couple of grand without my idiot bank asking me to reveal half my life history. Where do they think this cop got the money from - panning for gold on Beale St?
In the latest investigations, which were initiated by the Memphis Police Department, authorities say Terrance Lashun Harris, 32, made enough extra cash in drug deals to buy a Humvee, a Chevrolet Corvette, a large home in Southaven and two Dixie Queen restaurants.
Well, it IS Memphis...
Not exactly known for higher education.
Well, at least they got two of the lower level criminals in Memphis. There are much larger fish to fry if the law enforcement agencies just try. If they did, many of them will go down too I bet.

Is it just me, or does it seem like more news stories seem to be running "product placement" ads?
"Humvee, Chevrolet Corvette, Dixie Queen, Bud Light."
I'm sure the "Dixie Queen" is simply thrilled to have their name associated with a corrupt police officer.
Wait! You got to be kidding! Good thing this is ok in Texas. Other wise we wouldn't have a police force... : ) <<< me
"Odd, I thought seizing drug money was legal. Any money the police claim is drug money."
I was on a site the other day that caters to police officers and they were discussing how to confiscate property. One officer was asking for advice on the legality of confiscating a car that had been used in a crime but was stolen from an innocent third party. He really wanted to steal that car from the rightful owners.
"In the event that your memory doesn't serve you correctly on the above you must be able to correctly state the current day of the week or what month Santa Clause comes."
Do you have to be able to spell Santa Claus correctly?
Affirmative Action in action.
BUT NOT FOR PRIVATE USE.
Intentionally ironic... or just funny?
