I thought all our elected officials and judges took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Oops, my bad.
I guess the war on drugs does justify seizing a rare $1,000 bill during a traffic stop. I really hate the way our major parties strip away our liberties in order to score political points in the "law and order" game. At least the cops gave him a check and promise to let him buy it back once they are done considering it as evidence.
