But what does it cost to have multiple interdiction officers sitting on the highway all year, how much are their Tahoes, how much do those K-9's cost? Do they even break even?



Law enforcement isn’t supposed to break even

Most interstate stops like this are based on intel and not random.

Police don’t have to tie money like that to anything to keep it. All they will ask for is proof of where it came from and they can keep every penny.

They have been using stingray devices for at least a decade now. 9 times out of 10 I assume this is how they know which car to target and when, there is no way they are just that lucky or they have that many snitches.

That’s what the police reported finding...probably actually had $400,000 to $500,000


Yeah, that’s a pretty specific number. Either the guy driving was skimming before he got pulled over, or the cops padded their Christmas bonuses...

The Constitution disagrees.

Unfortunately the Supreme Court doesn't.

They made the dog alert.

That's enough to rob this entrepreneur of his money.

They made a judgement on something similar today. Indiana has to give a guy his Range Rover back.
