Supreme Court: Motorist forfeited money despite illegal search now as I recall "Writs of assistance" were one of the complaints of The United States Founders.

PS. Must fix that signature

That is one of the stupiest things I've heard. If you cannot prove a crime occurred, then how can you seize the money coming from said crime? The Imperial Government went way too far here.

I'll agree that the defendant probably was doing something shady.

But whatever happened to "burden of proof?" And protection against unreasonable search and seizure?

Lordy.

They'll do anything to pay off that budget (minus compromise and form a coherent budget plan).

Don't carry any cash around with you, Java. They might just claim it's ill gotten and nab it.
