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.

I don’t doubt any of this is happening or anybody that is saying it. But I can’t find anything official that verifies a single account of it happening. Law suits, once the court date has passed become public information and there is nothing for the case mentioned in this story.
Not about telling anybody they are wrong. To contact politicians and demand this stop, you have to prove that is happening.
Unfair to say the least! They call it drug money but the largest part of seized money comes from mom and pops out on vacation. There generation was told to take cash when leaving home …… I do! This is just legal theft !
Illinois is SATURATED with corruption. The laws only apply to the people, not the state or it’s agencies.
After becoming disabled, I’ve had court document lied about, shuffled to hide the judges signature on those court document from the state I moved to, then later removed from my file before being sent for review by a higher office. They whole system covers for one another. State assisted child support fraud is another one of their other rackets. Missed one year of support having surgeries and rehabilitation that didn’t work out. Spend the next 6 years paying 65% of my disability check for 1 child. Even the lawyer my family hired for me quit when I told her I wanted justice. I hope she worked out a cushy job for herself not representing me to best of her ability and throwing a disabled person under the bus. There is a special place in hell for these corrupt, unethical criminals.
That cop is a bad cop if this is true
If it is a true story they were dumb to carry all thst cash. Get a debit card.
Investigation into EVERY department in this country as TRUMP CLEANS HOUSE.]
This was going on here in my home county by the previous Sheriff and after some litigation several of them were overturned and the monies returned. It happens ALOT more than you would think.
Thats because cops are thieves.
BS..crooked as all hell
Assume guilt first, remove property and deal with subjects like criminals. Sounds like modern day policing.
