"The article goes on to say the man was not charged..."

Guilty enough to seize his cash, but apparently not guilty enough to try and stop from trafficking.

Not pressing charges after a large seizure is very common. Too much paperwork and they know the guy isn't coming back.

I have heard that the state highway patrol always sets up to catch drug mules on the south bound side of freeways. Mules would carry drugs north, then get stopped on their way south returning with drug money.

Everything gets confiscated and the mule gets a $250 or $500 bail. They bond out and disappear. Since no one ever comes back to claim the money or vehicles, the police get a real windfall for not much risk.

Remember the days when cops and SWAT teams would bust into drug houses? Doesn't seem to happen as much anymore.

For malefactors, it’s like letting them off with a somewhat randomly collected tax. They’ll soon have more where that came from.

For the innocent they are SCREWED.
