“All of it is wrapped the same way they wrap cocaine, the same rubber bands, the same style of wrapping, so when you see that you know where that money’s derived from,” Paulk said.

The sheriff’s office has only charged the men with traffic charges, but they are continuing to investigate.



Lowndes County is already spending that money. Gotta love some CAF

So it is a crime to have a lot of cash? Was there coke in the car?

How can seize money with no evidence?

That seems illegal. No other reason?

Gotta love our country, where police can take money for no other reason than suspicion without ever charging anyone with a crime.

They better find a crime for which the penalty is a fine of $500k, otherwise the Supreme Court just said that this kind of stuff is a “no no.”

Sounds look you baws never heard of civil forfeiture

Edit**

That doesn't mean I endorse it; I'm just telling you what it's called. It's 100% theft by the cops unless they can prove it drug money.

This is just one of many catches that deputies have come across during a simple traffic stop.

If I seized money in the same way, it would be called something nastier than "asset forfeiture".

Well I'm sure there are clear TAX records for the $500k. Prove that, or some other legal reasoning, and get it back. Dont be shady, and dont get questioned.

People act like law abiding people would be driving around with this much cash wrapped up this way.

Skimming money from drug busts is what I consider a nice fringe benefit to our men in blue.

So we're all guilty until proven innocent. Got it.

But why should the burden of proof be on them?
