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.

Good to see the sheep still in their place, ” well if you didn’t break the law, you wouldn’t get fined” well said pathetic excuse of a free man in America
ken mokler unions rarely do anyone a bit of good. and what little good they have done in the past could have been done without them.
This law has been perverted way beyond its original intent. The crafter of this law has even said so. But the fact it is abused in such a manner, and the police and elected officials do nothing to curb the abuse just shows who’s side they are on. It’s the citizen vs. the JustUs system.$#%&!@*any pig that participates in this highway robbery and I hope they eat a bullet.
OP is a clueless partisan hack
Add Michigan to the crook list
And how do you know it was drug money?
Oh yeah?
The King wants to take our guns!
