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.

MOST OF THE COPS ARE NOW THE CRIMINALS!!
and they weren’t charged with anything, doesn’t make sense
You have not heard it all , Why was the money loose in the car?
Put cuffs on that guy
Gotta wonder why they had so much cash with them.
Theft by police? It sure does, unfortunately.
Illinois needs the money.
I never realized that our law enforcement is a bunch of thieves ! They can stop you for no reason and confiscate any money you have and keep it ! Then you have to fight the courts to try to get it back ! I didn’t find where anyone got it back ! This is in AMERICA !I It’s happening on our highways ! The crookedness runs all the way to the top ! WE sure need to do some house cleaning !
I would hunt down the cop and shoot his$#%&!@*he would not be taking any more money on my watch!!!
