We are living in a time when the due process protections of the Fourth Amendment are more important than ever.
Back in 2012, couple Adam and Jennifer Perry were speeding down an Illinois highway to reach a hearing specialist based in Salt Lake City, Utah who was supposed to treat an ear infection afflicting Adam. Their high speed drew the attention of state troopers, who pulled the couple over.
After a drug dog sniffed the Perry’s car, police searched their vehicle. They turned up empty-handed, with the only thing vaguely resembling the drugs they were looking for being a duffel bag that officers claimed smelled of marijuana.
But they found something else: $107,520 in cash, belonging to the Perrys’.
The officers let them go, but they kept the cash, even though the Perrys’ weren’t charged with a crime or even subject to a search warrant.

Welcom to amerika, zek. Michael Elliot, you can support the road-pirates all you want, but you can’t alter the Constitution. Either the country is run in accordance to it, or it is abnegated. Guess what, kids, it’s been abnegated, and that has happened because lazy imbeciles such as Michael fall back on the “if you aren’t doing anything wrong, then the government has the right to search your house, your car, your person, your wife, your kids, and take whatever they want, because, you know, they’re the authorities, man.” IT’s time for the next American Revolution, and the Federals are the New Redcoats.
I do obey the law, moron. If a scale is that much off, it’d flag everyone down for citations. Obviously, the state would get held responsible. Stop making excuses.
