Why does it take a conservative to say carelessness and
inattention are their own punishment sometimes. I wouldn't
be saying it if you hadn't denigrated the cop for just doing his
job. "the champion of all that is good"? What does that make
you champion of, then.

My understanding is that the dogs never fail to indicate to the cops that they have a hit, the reason being the cops can always claim so on any basis without fear of contradiction. So the probable cause is that the police suspect enough to use the dogs. The judicial system in all 50 is cool with this.

>don't carry dank plastic containers smelling like marijuana?

well, yeah, that and make them bring the dog to you [as you realize now]. But you may have been screwed no matter what.

The dog hits on the money so I'm hit with a property forfeiture.

They took the money and my cell phone. Not charged.....they let me go.



Just curious, how can they take your stuff without charging you? Will it be returned?

Oh, and btw a TRUE conservative is one who will stick up for your civil liberties (ie Ron Paul)

When it comes to large amounts of money, you're guilty before proven innocent and it's up to you to prove you're innocent.



How can you prove it if you are not charged? That is what I was trying to figure out.

The trick is that claiming ownership of the money is usually somewhat of an admission of guilt, too.

Good question. Was the 35K just sitting in the back of this rental car that you didn't know about? Sounds strange.

Depending on exactly what the timeline for your stop was there could be a problem with the officer asking for you to follow him at the conclusion of the traffic stop. Especially since you would have asked if you could leave and were told he already had probable cause. This is very case specific, and I don't know exactly know the spin put on the 4th amendment out in Kansas, but in my jurisdiction there can be some favorable law on this particular issue.

If you'd like to PM me I'll be happy to get you a referral to someone competent in the area. Please get me the exact city or county where the forfeiture occured.

I'd also recomend not posting anything further about this stop (or any other serious legal matter) on any public forums.

Really? You think arguing with a cop when you have
drug evidence and $35K in the car takes a conservative
to condemn? I have no issues with what went down at
all. It's your attitude that you were somehow wronged.

I have to ask. What did you think would happen if you
got stopped?

So are you looking for help, or do you just want to rant on & on about conservatives? Also, when the cop said he was just going to give you a warning, why didn't you just shut up, say thank you, and be on your way?

Last time I got pulled I wasn't wearing my seat belt. The cop said to me "Any particular reason you weren't wearing your seat belt?" I said, "Because I don't think the government has any more reason telling me to wear my seat belt than they have to tell me to eat my broccoli"

I ended up getting the seat belt ticket...it was worth it.

Actions speak louder than words. Cops keep 35K and don't charge you. Good odds you will not fight it and face a felony.

So much for justice. Guilty till proved innocent !

After reading and re-reading the OP, it's not clear when the "chase" actually began. I'm not one to defend cops (can't stand them myself), but the cop may have just wanted to pass everyone and saw the alleged traffic violation in the process.

Anyway, according to the OP, the cop "pulls me over and tells me that I cut the truck off when changing lanes and was going to give me a warning". At this point, it really is pointless to continue the conversation. It's one guy's word vs. another's, and absolutely nothing good can come out of starting an argument.

So to answer the question, yes, I most definitely would have shut up and been on my way.

I had a cop buddy tell me years ago never to say
a word when a cop pulls you over. If you even
sound like you're arguing, the cop interprets as
'fuck you'. So the cop thinks, 'fuck me? Nope. But
I sure as hell can fuck you.' And they often do, as
we see here.

Cops, more than anything, want respect for their
badge and their job. Can you blame them?

Conservative ? Liberal?
There are good cops and most are good and there are some bad cops unfortunately.
I'm sure if it can be proven that you got taken by some bad cops and this type of thing is believable because its happened many times before in other jurisdictions, everybody is outraged. Its not left or right. Even those on the right don't support bad cops. Just because someone tries to see it from a cops view doesn't mean they support corrupt cops.

Anyway sounds like you got scammed. Getting stopped with out of state plates, they got you by the kahunas. sucks. They probably smelled money and saw this as an easy score.
Its just a forum. Nothing here to get obsessed about.
