POLICING FOR PROFIT
Under federal rules, local agencies get to keep 80% of money seized while federal authorities keep 20%.
The man was later forced to prove in court that he acquired the money legitimately which is another violation of constitutional rights. How far will this go before citizens finally put a stop to it and repeal the federal laws on (legalized theft) civil asset forfeiture?
There is no obligation to speak to officers when being detained. There is no obligation to answer any questions to law enforcement without first speaking to a lawyer. You have the right not to self incriminate and anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
