I don't see how it was stolen.

Maybe you could show me the exact line or paragraph where it says the cop took it illegally.

Lets see....

If the cops arrested a drug trafficker, the headline would be something along the lines of "Kansas police arrest drug smuggler with $1,000,000 in cash!!!!"

See anything about the driver being arrested? Charged?

Need more examples of police stealing money from people without them ever being arrested or charged?

I'd be happy to provide you with more than you care to read.

I would have to concur w/ you on that one, I could have sworn actual drugs were needed for a bust like that.

But as for the casino theory, I have won a few big amounts in my times at casinos, and they paid me by check w/ those wins.

Perhaps the driver cleaned out his savings and was planning on leaving the country, who knows.

You still didn't show me where it was stolen.


Don't you think this could be an on going investigation and like all cases that are on going, they simply cannot comment on the specifics in the case?

But your title is certainly an attention grabber, which was probably your reasoning behind it. Nevermind that the article doesn't mention anything about cops stealing anything.

In the United States you cannot "find someone guilty" on suspicion alone.

You are required to provide evidence that proves the case in a court of law.

Last I checked, having a ton of $ is not illegal. And it does not prove anything.

This "confiscation" is theft because they are not providing any legitimate evidence to prove he is guilty of any crime at all.

Due process.

I understand your point . All I am saying is it is not normal for someone to be driving around with over 1 million dollars. Well it is normal for drug dealers. If he is innocent he will get his money back.

Saying the driver was arrested wouldnt be a specific detail of the case.

Here are a few more examples for you to (poorly) attempt to justify....


Police stopped 49-year-old Ethel Hylton at Houston's Hobby Airport and told her she was under arrest because a drug dog had scratched at her luggage. Agents searched her bags and strip-searched her, but they found no drugs. They did find $39,110 in cash, money she had received from an insurance settlement and her life savings; accumulated through over 20 years of work as a hotel housekeeper and hospital janitor. Ethel Hylton completely documented where she got the money and was never charged with a crime. But the police kept her money anyway. Nearly four years later, she is still trying to get her money back.



In Albuquerque, N.M., in February 2000, DEA agents detained Sam Thach, who was traveling on Amtrak from Fullerton, Calif., to Boston, and seized $147,000 in cash he was carrying. Thach had no drugs. His crime? He had bought a one-way ticket with cash and didn't give Amtrak his phone number

Really? He will get his money back?

Not quite so.

Time after time people have money and assets seized, are never charged with a crime, and never get their property back.

Carrying around large sums of cash isnt illegal, nor is it suspicious.

I have to get ready for work. I'll be back on later. Like I said in my first post I am not a big fan of LEOs... If I'm wrong I will be more than happy to have you educate me.

Okay, I didn't say it doesn't happen and those article clips shows that their money was stolen.

What I am asking for the third time is where in the original article does it state that they stole his/her money.

I am asking for evidence in the article to support your title, not your opinion.
