Quote from Brandonf:
The state/feds take the confiscation of assets thing to an extreme. They depend on it for new toys, raises etc and they act like criminals in order to get at peoples money. Just recently(may or june) a guy was pulled over west of Des Moines who had decided to take the summer and travel the country, he was carrying $18,000 cash with him as his plan was to spend the entire summer traveling. He was born in the US and to parents born in the US. The police took his car and his cash and kept him locked up for 3 weeks while he had to hire an attorney and accountants to prove that the money was "really" his and not from an "Illgotten sourse". This was a 28 year old guy who had just finished his masters degree and had never been in trouble except once when he was 19 for having a bag of winecoolers underaged. Where is the justice in that? The state would not even refund him for the legal and accounting fee's it took him to prove it was "really his" money and not theirs to take. SICK!
