Having money is not suspicious. I'm sick of agencies acting as self-propagating thieves. The whole drug war needs to end.

- oh_sigh 9y agoWell, having tens of thousands of dollars hidden in a speaker is suspicious. But it seems that there is a verifiable story to go along with it
- haZard_OS 9y agoEven without a story to go along with it, engaging in "suspicious" activity is no cause for having your property stripped from you without due process.
- markkanof 9y agoThere is nothing suspicious about it. You might say it's abnormal given that the majority of people choose to keep their money in a bank, but it's not suspicious to merely keep money in an unusual place.
- Shivetya 9y agoI posted a story before, they can invent drugs and such and bust you for falling for it. https://www.cato.org/blog/stash-house-stings-when-government-can-invent-crimes-criminals https://www.cato.org/blog/stash-house-stings-when-government... with regards to asset forfeiture the police routinely take property that does not belong to the criminal but from relatives and friends who can rightfully claim innocence and lack of knowledge. Simple reason is they prey on the poor
- jacquesm 9y agoIn other places that's called entrapment, the article makes the distinction that only the first party directly in contact with LEOs can make that claim and everybody else can't. Pretty cheap, but they have to keep those prisons filled somehow. Interesting detail how the invented amount changes the sentencing. Very creative. /s
