"At the center of this months-long, NewsChannel 5 investigation are laws that let officers pull you over looking for cash -- and, get this, they don't even have to charge you with a crime to keep your money.
It turns out, those kind of traffic stops are happening every day in Middle Tennessee.
"This is really highway shakedowns coming to the U.S.," said Scott Bullock with the conservative-leaning Institute for Justice.
Our investigation uncovered startling evidence that raises questions about law enforcement priorities."

Why did it take 20 years of drug wars and "asset forfeiture" laws to finally get an honest report now?

But you're right, better late than never.

[nolvorite]

What's the difference between a cop and a mugger? One is a filthy social parasite who makes a meager living harassing victims of opportunity, and the other is a criminal.

You guys say what you want about the cops... and I agree..... but instead of everyone waisting time on the cops, try looking at the Public Officials/Politicians that made that law, if they are not "whipped" into line, then, it will never stop.


Do you believe this crap, it's a Drug War thing, but, they like to let the drugs get by so they can possibly get the cash coming back!


Out on I-40, interdiction officers have a choice: Conventional wisdom is that the drugs come in from Mexico on the eastbound side. But the money goes back on the west.

While both agencies have made some big drug cases, we spotted both the 23rd and DICE staging time and time again with their backs to the drug side.

wow. such legitimate use of taxpayer money.

As if there was any legitimate use?

[Jandrsn21]

We had a local cop a few years ago who would pull over the local Mexicans and take money from their wallet . But he fucked up and did the deed in front of his dashcam.
