    Some of the nominees for Treasury, ATF, etc should scare the crap out of people. Even if they aren't confirmed, the fact they are considered says where the administration's heads are at.

    This is local law enforcement issue. There’s a portion of highway between texas and Arkansas that’s well known for this.

    This is unfortunately what it takes to stop the traffic of fentanyl from China though.
    If law enforcement was allowed to make judgement calls that make sense, they'd end up fired, likely with loss of their pensions.
    That's what needs to change, IMO.

    That’s right! I saw a show years ago about cops seizing “drug” money and associated properties because they could keep it! I love law enforcement as long as they are honest!

    What more proof could the victim provide besides the receipts for all the $$$?

    Nothing new here. Legalized theft, simply because they can.

    Bull. The way to stop any kind of drug trafficking is to follow it to the top and execute every one instantly. Including any and everyone involved no matter how high up it goes.
    That will stop drug trafficking

    As long as there is so much money to be made with illegal drugs smuggling will continue.

    Here's something on that; What if you had a side job, worked 30+ years with it and tucked that money away for all those years, pulled it out and was moving to another state with the cash to buy a home or something else. Are you supposed to provide all those YEARS of pay stubs and receipts? That is Ludicrous!!! I was telling Dennis about my wife's Grand Mother, when she passed, she had $19,000 in shoe boxes! How the hell do you explain that if you have it STOLEN from you by the police. What if you traveled, told the cops you had $19,000 from your dead Grand Mother and do you THINK for a second they're gonna believe you, and the story was REAL. This happens every day and is WRONG!

    Please tell the authorities just how easy this is. They're obviously uninformed.

    I chased drug runners for 6 years of my life at sea and on land, it was my job. Stealing peoples money is NOT the way do go about it.
