Statistically speaking, doesn't over 90% of US currency in circulation have traces of coc aine or other drugs on it? This smells like a rat.


Yes, and the traces of coc aine are from the drugs that the FEDS are bringing in. Crooked crooked police state

As an ex-LEO from Tennessee I can tell you I saw this kind of thing happen at least once to my direct knowledge. Now there may have been other circumstances involved as I was not the arresting officer.

A vehicle was pulled over on the interstate...speeding was the excuse. In the car they found 100,000 dollars in cash wrapped in plastic. They were brought in for questioning and interrogated. I was there during. Neither individual was arrested but, their money was confiscated. Afterwards they were released.

The problem in this case was that both people told different stories as to what the money was meant for. They never came back to claim said funds even though they were told they could.

We must take into consideration the fact that most people do not regularly run around with large sums of cash in their possession. It is suspicious. I do not care what you tell me. I do not care what you can show me on the internet. This is one way that drugs (even guns) are bought. Cash.

Is what happened right? After the fact I say no. I bet the officer says the same thing, probably with the attitude better safe than sorry.

In a situation like this I always like to look NOT at the event but, what caused an event like this to even be able to occur. It falls back to us and our responsibility as citizens. If we do not like laws that allow this kind of thing then why are we sitting around allowing it?




who's sitting around and allowing it?...what the hell are you suppose to do when lawsuits are filed, and right-wing law&order judges don't give a crap about your rights, and rule against you. why aren't all these constitutional flag-waving, communist-hating, freedom-loving, republicans changing these laws???????.....there are now 31 republican governors currently in office, out of the 50 states, why aren't all the conservatives protesting and marching on statehouses to get these communist laws changed.........what's next? confiscate a persons BMW, because he can't show he makes enough money to have one?

Well said. It's certainly scary. Neo communist/fascist policies are the order of the day it seems.

Apparently he was trying to buy a car. Since he was out of state, he wasn't sure if they would take personal checks. So he had cash.

Not necessarily the wisest thing to do but it was not illegal. The man had every right to be cruising around with it if that is what he wanted.

MONTEREY, Tenn. -- "If somebody told me this happened to them, I absolutely would not believe this could happen in America."

That was the reaction of a New Jersey man who found out just how risky it can be to carry cash through Tennessee.

For more than a year, NewsChannel 5 Investigates has been shining a light on a practice that some call "policing for profit."

Shows the level of corruption in America.

I'm amazed at the naivete of the man. I would not carry so much money. If I had to hand-carry it, I will not show it to anyone, not even cops. That amount of money is too big to show to anyone, especially a cop from Tennessee.
