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.

So wrong
They can take everything you have…including your life with no penalty.
If there was no crime committed and that’s their money give it back its not yours you’re a$#%&!@*thief if you keep it a low life thief
The government stole their money and they wonder why so many are fed up…
This actually happens all around the country Illinois just made it on this post
Stealing from people
did you take a hit from your bong before typing that comment? pay close attention, son. the cops demand payment of citations on the spot, and tow the trucks and trailers of those who can’t or refuse to pay. this is illegal. it is unconstitutional. and just so you know, i, like many commercial truckers, have received a number of citations for imaginary violations.
How can they do that, that couple needs to get a Lawyer. and go after that cop
Maybe they wanted to dig a hole and bury it. Its nobody’s business what you do with your cash until its used criminally and they have substantial evidence of that crime being committed.
