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.

This has to stop
Just who carries around
$ 107,000 cash ? Drug deal gone bad. NOBODY carries around that kind of cash.
Drug deal friend.
Yes it has but most people don’t have a clue. I bought a new car for $27,000 3 years ago by check. The Lady at the car lot said don’t bring cash unless I wanted the IRS at my house the next day. But $107,000 smells like drug deal. Any Cop in any State would have done the same.
