Federal Appeals Court: Driving With Money is a Crime
Eighth Circuit Appeals Court ruling says police may seize cash from
motorists even in the absence of any evidence that a crime has been
committed.
US Court of Appeals, Eighth CircuitA federal appeals court ruled
yesterday that if a motorist is carrying large sums of money, it is
automatically subject to confiscation. In the case entitled, "United
States of America v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency," the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Eighth Circuit took that amount of cash away from
Emiliano Gomez Gonzolez, a man with a "lack of significant criminal
history" neither accused nor convicted of any crime.
