I had this happen to a client of mine. This was a a former thug who really went clean. I helped him with a lot o stuff, his pistol permit, etc. He turned another page and went totally legit.
He invested in a chicken wings joint and often had to deposit a lot of cash for the store. The pigs pulled him over and really busted his ass for nothing and found $7500 on him, which he said was for payroll, depotis, etc, and the scum of the earth cops refused to believe him. They took the cash, but never arrested him, impounding the cash only on the basis they had " good reason" to believe it was related to drug activitiy.
It wasnt and I showed these pofs cops all the evidence that it was related to his wings store and they still refused to give the money back unless he forfeited 15% to the state for costs, expenses, etc. The legal costs involved would have been more if we filed an Article 78 against the bitches in blue, so he had to settle. He got freaking robbed by these scumbags with badges.
This is where I totally part ways with the "conservatives" who defend the cops all the time. I have been personally witness to far too much to support law enforcement in any way possible.
To me, 99.95% of the cops are no different than the dirtbags at the post office or DMV.
