This is exactly why we have constitutional rights. You may not abuse this unconstitutional law, but others can and sometimes do. So, while we won’t assume all cops are up to no good, it’s best that nobody assumes that a few aren’t.

I bet she's got that black eye by now, from Juan punching her in it, for getting his dope money seized

I suppose if you'd simply watch the video, you'd understand why folks here are resistant to buy your position - it's what we have to go on in this thread...as you attempt to convince us laymen of the righteousness of CAV without having watched the video, you don't appear to get what has everybody fuming...if you do go see the vid and then don't agree with what happened, you will realize that you seem to be arguing against your own position...

That's for the criminal matters. CIVIL asset forfeiture is not a criminal matter, and so the defendant does not get an attorney provided for them, etc

Yep, and now they have her money so she can’t hire an attorney either. How convenient!

The Same and no I haven't watched the video.

All of y’all ignorantly voicing your opinions against these types of seizures really don’t know you [censored] from a muddy hole in the ground.

I don't see anyone on either side of the debate ignorantly voicing their opinions...fact is your post was the very 1st ignorant post I've seen...

Wanting our constitutional rights upheld is ignorant, huh?

Have another beer!

Someone needs to seize his guns.

This boils down to a simple concept: If a crime is suspected make an arrest. It's the "civil" part that becomes problematic.

Yep. Anytime I’ve tried to get law enforcement involved in a civil matter, they won’t have anything to do with it. But in this case, it’s game on.

Right. If I get stopped while carrying a large amount of cash, then arrest me, charge me with a crime, and impound the cash as evidence for the trial.

Otherwise, I should hear "You're free to go, drive safely" from the LEO

Probably won't go down that way, but good luck!

Back when I scuba dives in Mexico, the dive master had a locked briefcase with $20,000.00 in it in case someone had to be evacuated back to the United States. He also had a letter from the bank, the air ambulance company and the hospital you would be flown to. He declared it leaving the US and on re-entry without any trouble.
PS: As a diver, we were expected to write him a check, before he paid the air ambulance company. I had the check already made out except for the signature. The group I dove with made sure we did our decompression stops by the book (or stop watch) as we were the first in the water and the last out. We sometimes exceeded the limits, due to folks not understanding, ARE YOU READY to dive.

finally someone is looking into this...

Again...why would somebody put this in their checked baggage?

To keep the TSA inspectors from knowing about it. There is no telling how many millions or billions of dollars that go through the baggage on airlines. The money is most likely from something illegal, she may not have even knew it was there.

TSA inspects checked bags too! I get their calling cards in mine all the time.

AH-OH. What’s going on here? She is still guilty of not breaking any laws.

This deal makes as much sense as paying child support to a woman that got almost pregnant.

This is what will happen with red flag laws as well.
