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.

Well sometimes you feel you are better off with your money with you than in the bank where they can get it
Unleash these cops on the Clinton foundation.
Regina Perry this is still a free country? People can do what they want to do. Just because the cops think they’re dirty doesn’t mean they are. If they want to carry their money around there’s no law against it. The cops have no right to take it. This is not an authoritarian regime.
Illinois is Obamas home State is it not?

Hey, do what u want. It is a free country as u say and I never said it wasn’t. I’ve seen the same identical thing happen where I live. But hey you take your chances, I’m hanging on to what I have and nobody’s gonna get the excuse to take it from me. The cops wanna search me my car my home. Hell, get to searching! Just because u have the “right” to carry around hundreds of thousands of dollars is still no reason to be reckless with your cash. Then you can post how bad it is (it is) how corrupt it is (it is) how immoral it is (it is) but people’s lives will go on and your story will fade. You don’t have any money so you can’t hire an attorney. Trust me I know!!! I worked in a governmental position for years and I saw what went on. You don’t know how many times I saw the c**p “under the table” go on! I retired finally because it got me so mad I nearly lost it a couple of times and kicked a couple of morons asses. I’ve been around the “law” so don’t tell me how it works. I’ve seen it in action. That’s all folks
No wonder people despise them.
Do your homework
…no search warrant rewuire pn vehicle stop in the presence of probable cause!@
If it was my money I would hunt that cop down. Don’t care of the outcome.
this is a dirty cop and he must be held accountable for his crime and he must be prosicuted.
