Reply to comment by Mission_Albatross916 in Exonerees in Mass. state drug lab scandal want their seized property and money back by ak47workaccnt

You should watch the video of a cop taking a man's life savings under civil forfeiture. It took him 8 months to get his money back.

Well, that made me furious and nauseated. How fucking disgusting.

At least this guy got his money back but I’m sure that’s super rare.

No doubt. And he got pulled over because he was NOT speeding. That just happened to me a couple months ago. I was going 30 in a 35 on rural MA roads at night in the rain. In the end I didn’t get a ticket but the cop tried telling me that I had had a ticket in MA in the past - totally not true. I told him so and he just backed down and said “ok have a nice night.” But the whole time I was fuming and it was all I could do to keep my mouth shut and be “polite.”

Wow .. so messed up! He kept his composure too, I mean I would have definitely snapped and been arrested! That's a TON of cash to drive with in your rental trunk!!!
