June 19, 201511 yr I had a buddy get pulled into a private room by some plain clothes officers at CVG because they said he had too much money on him. They finally allowed him to call his casino host which explained to them that he was a high roller and let him go a few minutes before his flight left. He was not happy to say the least. They actually had called some cops from his area questioning about him he found out later.

July 4, 201511 yr Interesting update to this story in Washington Post. (Link below.) Lots of police departments wanting their "fair share": Drug cops took a college kid?s savings and now 13 police departments want a cut - The Washington Post What burns me up about this story (again) is that it seems like it is up to the individual to "prove" the money was not gotten by dealing drugs. This is outrageous. The government should have to "prove" that the individual DID get the money by dealing drugs. Huge difference...

July 13, 201511 yr Legalize pot and half the prsions empty saving millions. Less that 1 percent (actually closer to 1 tenth of a percent) of people in Prison are in Prison for Marijuana possession ... About 750,000 people are arrested every year for marijuana offenses in the U.S. There's a lot of variation across states in what happens next. Not all arrests lead to prosecutions, and relatively few people prosecuted and convicted of simple possession end up in jail. Most are fined or are placed into community supervision.

Less than one percent are in for possession alone.
