Driving With Money is a Crime

I thought assest forfeiture only worked if there was a criminal conviction.

Almost never; it's usually a civil forfeiture.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_forfeiture

"There are two types of forfeiture cases, criminal and civil. Almost all forfeiture cases practiced today are civil. In civil forfeiture cases, the US Government sues the item of property, not the person; the owner is effectively a third party claimant. Once the government establishes probable cause that the property is subject to forfeiture, the owner must prove on a "preponderance of the evidence" that it is not. The owner need not be judged guilty of any crime."

C'est ici la sagesse. Que celui qui a de l'intelligence calcule le chiffre de la b?te. Car c'est un chiffre d'homme, et son chiffre est 666 (ou 616?).

Yesterday when I checked the NHfree.com membership total it was 666 LOL

   The Department of Justice has become a Department of Injustice, and many police officers enforce that injustice.

So should officers be allowed to tally all the cash of the occupants of a vehicle, the vehicle's insurance coverage, the credit available to the vehicle's occupants as well as any bank funds accessible for transfer from the car, and use those to trigger a forfeiture?
