I literally had this conversation within the last month with a county then federal prosecutor whose role was internal departmental crimes.
Was this prosecutors name Thomas Binger by any chance?

I had found a legit case that created the conversation, they are extremely rare.
Dude, the pigs stand outside casinos all the time. First they’re looking to give people DUIs but what they’re actually looking for is the jackpot winners. Don’t have your paperwork after a monstrous game of blackjack? Well you’re lucky we’re not arresting you for all the coke we suspect you sold! Now hand us the money!

who flys[sic] with 100k that's fricking moronic.
The article say she was at DFW waiting for her connecting flight. Didn't say where her final destination was...maybe she was connecting on to Vegas or Atlanta.
Besides, $100K is not that much these days. I went to Cabo a couple of months ago and brought $10K cash for spending money and in case I need to bride my way out of jail.

I think we're being beyond naive if we don't find something fishy about carrying over 100k in cash. But, I agree that if they haven't charged her with a crime, they should not be able to just take the money.
I do not agree with some of the people in this thread who are turning this into a "cops are the enemy" argument. As with all of the cherry picked instances that the media uses to make all cops look racist, I don't think every cop, or every police department is corrupt. If they were, everyone would be getting arrested for no reason.
Let's try to stay on point, without going off the rails every time we hear a negative story about cops.

They hand off the money, then get paid $1,500.
Most mules are paid up front, if they try to walk with the money their kids legs are the collateral.
Least that how it works down here in the Caribbean.
Guyana is notorious for mules. Cocaine is plentiful, and worthless until it gets to the US, so they usually send more than one mule, feds pat themselves on the back while the other two stroll on through.
See some odd stuff in the Miami airport. Land and walking the fifteen miles to customs, other passengers from another plane merge with you and suddenly, before customs, a bunch of officials are standing there saying "Guyana passengers step aside please".
Or you get to baggage claim and there are enough drug sniffing dogs to do a Westminister dog show....and one lonely bag going around one of the baggage claims that came from Guyana, and the only thing that wants to touch it are the dogs.
Standing in line and one of the drug dogs made a beeline for this carryon of the guy behind me. Cop picks up the bag, heels the dog and put the bag on the counter behind him. Loosens the leash and the dog makes a beeline for the bag again. Cop asks the owner if he can open it, and its empty. Cop said, it may not be in there now, but it was in there, this is the best drug dog in Miami, never ever misses.

Are we being told it wasn't her money too?

Were you planning on murdering someone? Or engage in some really bad stuff? 10K will get one out of a lot down there.

Title should be "Dallas PD confiscates $100,000 of cartel money from Chicago woman." I highly doubt that it was actually hers. That's why they give them a receipt. They give it to their cartel handler to avoid being killed. The cartels consider it a business expense and adjust their pricing accordingly.
They have zero evidence that she has done anything wrong and didn't even charge her with a crime.
Don't be a fricking bootlicker for this kind of bullshite.

Yeah. What is evidence or due process? You have money. Therefore we can take it.

This has been going on forever. You can’t just walk around with drug money that’s not claimed.
Not saying it’s right or wrong, but it’s not new.
If everyone else has to pay taxes, so should she.

I agree, she's entitled to due process.
However my point remains, if this is cartel related she will never complain that her due process rights were violated.

I can't think of a scenario where someone would have $100K in cash on them that wasn't either ill gotten gains or lawful gains that were untaxed where there wasn't a paper trail for it.

There can't be a criminal conviction because there's no crime committed by the mule. Carrying cash isn't illegal. They just say "fly into D/FW, take a taxi to this Denny's, and our guy will meet you". They hand off the money, then get paid $1,500. The cartels purposely compartmentalize their operations. Drugs and money are kept as separate as possible.
Don't prove it happened, and you should not be able to keep the money.
