A year ago the Department of Justice ordered the DEA to stop searching passengers at airports and taking their cash – without probable cause, crimes, or charges. Over a 10-year period, the DEA had seized over $4 billion in cash, the vast majority of which was unconnected to any crime or charge.
You might think that means that law enforcement will no longer stop passengers in airports and take their money. But that would be wrong. Since they get to keep the cash there’s a strong incentive to continue the practice.
DOJ killed DEA’s infamous “jetway robbery” program at airports.
But the forfeiture machine didn’t stop. Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection and local police seize cash instead. (cont'd)
This is disgustingly and unConstitutional. Just legalized police-state robbery.
