You said:

"Pulls me over and tells me that I cut the truck off when changing lanes and was going to give me a warning."

He told you he was giving you a warning. Yet you did this:

"I explained to him that I was merely getting out of his way and I wasn't close to cutting the truck off."

So you have drug evidence and cash in the vehicle,
and you decide to talk him out of a fricking WARNING?

And you don't see what's wrong here?

Unreal.

I think the point here Bob is that he had NO CAUSE to search the damn vehicle in the first place.

I've found garbage, change, receipts, sunglasses (yay! to replace the ones I left! see above), etc. in many cars that I've rented. And that's just in the cab. I'd bet just about anything that $30k under the tire in the spare tire compartment would make it the lifecycle of the rental without being found by the cleaners.

This reminds me of my 17 yr old daughter.

She misses curfew by a few minutes. I make a short comment about her being late.

She can say "Yes dad, I'm sorry." -or- she can choose to argue.

When she argues, things end badly for her.

I agree, the way it's told it makes no sense. Who tries
to talk their way out of a warning? Who talks to a cop
at all with that kind stuff in the vehicle? Never mess
with somebody when they doing they're job. Don't
tell a bartender how to make drinks, don't tell a baker
how to make bread, and don't talk to a cop ever, unless
they ask you a question.

Did not matter what you did or said. Cop had decided you were a single male driving rental car in middle of nowhere. You would have been pulled over and car searched no matter what you did.

Anybody that thinks a cop needs a reason to pull you over, has never been pulled over for a DWB.

I used to work 4 to Mid in Denver. Almost every night on way home on West Colfax, I would see cars pulled over. Usually because they just left a bar and forgot to turn the lights on. One night Josie and I had been to a rock concert and were driving home at about 1 AM. This cop car dropped in behind Josie in right hand lane. I told her not to get nervous but expect to get pulled over.

Josie drove carefully for 5 blocks. Then when she made a right hand turn onto Kipling, the lights came on and she was pulled over. Cop checked license and registration, shine flashlight inside car, went back to cop car to run info. Then came up and told Josie he pulled her over because she made a wide turn, but he was not going to give her a ticket. Wide turn, MY ASS.

4 lanes on Kipling and a 2 feet wide cobble stone gutter, next to the intersection. Just an average turn and less wide than 95% of drivers.

Hope you can stand $35K loss. If you file a claim that envelope might come back with traces of cocaine. Or the $100 bills might come
back honestly with traces of coke.

The look was so the cop could testify on the stand that you looked nervous, or pretended not to notice him, or whatever story that particular judge liked to hera, Cops testify so much, they have it down to a science. He didn't react like a person would, he seemed to be overacting to me, his demeanor was not like most people in that circumstance, whatever !

First of all, Last time I checked we did live in America. So how can they pin this on you?
1) you did nothing to brake the law nor cause suspicion therefore why the search?
2) Rental vehicle. Piss on that you can claim you knew nothing about the container smelling of Marijuana. Do not claim that container what ever you do!!
3) I am sure you have valid records as to where the 35k came from as proof that is your $$$, the container was already in the car when you rented it you just happened to choose to store the 35k in there . It is America we can do that.
You done nothing wrong. You are an American citizen, fight the hell out of this & make the courts pay you 35k + for illegal search & causing you tremendous grief resulting in you having to seek medical attention for the stress & anxiety as a result of this incident as well as causing you to miss an event of a lifetime of your nephew being born, something you can put no cost on .

Your money is gone.
Your lucky it was Kansas and some of the highway revenue collector's still have some decency.

You are lucky to be alive.

With the militarization of the police, we are now the enemy.

Any rights we may have had prior to the NDAA are now suspended.

I know they have remote readers in the airport that can instantly tell them how much cash you are carrying by reading the magnetic strips in the bills but not sure what the range is on them. Just like the credit card readers thieves use to read what's in your wallet. Maybe that is why you were pulled over?

Before a retort here, shoot the message not the messenger.

Classic illegal search and seizure. Cops usually don't do that if they think their fingers will be slapped.

I repeat " 35K or a felony ". Tough call.

Isn't it nice that if you are arrested and case is thrown out of court as totally bullshit, you have to sue to get your arrest record cleared.

And some states you can not even do that !

Almost a hundred replies in just a couple hours,
this has to be a record. He has yet to explain why
he had drug paraphernalia and a large amount
of cash in the car. Whatever the reason, there's
a -0 chance of ever getting the money back.
They gave the info to the DEA for sure, so this
ride ain't over yet. Lawyer up is my advice.
