- Michael Sanchez-Ratliff embarked on a cross-country road trip that he hoped would change his life. It did, but not in the way he imagined. During a traffic stop in Iowa, police seized $19,000 from him...his entire life savings.

This is the true definition of highway robbery.
Good One! I can appreciate!
Tennessee police are worse than any other police dept when it comes to seizing money and property from out of state drivers who pass through Tennessee, One elderly man coming from TX was stopped on I40 EAST and after he was searched and his auto ripped apart and nothing found he said the one cop told him to open his mouth to see if he had any gold, he said they got mad and told him to move his ass on which he did, he said he counted six cars and two big rigs being searched and families with kids sitting or standing in the cold while their autos were being searched and torn apart.
crooks with badges
An insider in Tennessee says that Tennessee police are fighting because they all want to go to the town were BONNAROO IS HELD EVERY YEAR,Last YEAR OVER 2,000 PEOPLE HAD THEIR MONEY AND PROPERTY SEIZED while attending the concert, On the other side of Tennessee on I40 going into MEMPHIS TENNESSEE POLICE were seizing millions of dollars plus autos, jewelry.and in one case it was alleged that Tennessee police seized an PS4 from a child who suffers from polio and the PS4 was a gift to the child from his family's church and if that wasn't bad enough the family and the child were left standing on the interstate in snow and freezing cold until a passerby stopped and gave them a ride to a motel, These cutthroat snibbling low- life's badge carrying scum Tennessee police are worse than any mafia gang in the nation.
The Cops have BECOME the Robbers !!!!!!
7k in attorney fees.... Soooo he got robbed twice?
He should have sue for attorneys fees and more ...
That's honestly cheap, sadly
Zeitmorder he really did!!!
@Zeitmorder Ofcourse, they are all a part of the same corrupt system.
Honestly he got robbed twice 😂😂
the police should have to pay attorney fees and all court cost
i think they do if he won........
@@mariuscatalin5982 negative, the guy only got 11k back from the court
@@ryknow6944 daam
I'm sure they will have to
@@bulij7107 And, he was sure the cops would not take his money without cause.
NEVER ever let the cops search your property without a warrant.
Sad thing is, if you don't give consent, they call in a drug sniffing dog and say he triggered a "sign", and they go with probable cause.
they always say we will bring k9 cop....
Dude cops can search a car with probable cause,I don't know what you are thinking don't let them?You ain't going to stop them that is for sure.
If this kid said no you can not search,they would have put the drug dog on the car and say he alerted,which gives them every right to search.Warrants only apply to homes.Did you miss that he was in a car?
What law makes it legal for cops to seize your personal property without physical evidence or no grounds? It certainly appears this law was designed to encourage crooked cops to not serve and protect citizens. I guess all citizens will have to become lawyers just to enjoy freedom. They didn't find anything in the phone or the car and the guy still got processed like a criminal. At least he was the lucky few that got back what was stolen
@@DTVA1969 I took my dog for a walk around your car therefore I get to search it. Amazing logic.
This totally annihilates the argument "If you haven't done anything wrong then you don't have anything to worry about."
Tomato Man lololololo democracy in america is a hilarious joke
Tomato Man what's funny is we didn't vote for this and yet it's still the way that it is. Yea, the courts decided this one. You know the whole Republic thing you're talking about. That's what did this. We didn't, democracy didn't. No your beloved Republic did this. It's 100% legal for cops to rob innocent people because we live in a republic.
Mama MOB I don't identify with a party but I have to mention that democracy has been responsible for much worse.
Mr S as has every form of governance ever to have existed. That was kind of my point. He pointed out that a republic is better because people will vote for stuff like this. But I was pointing out that we already have Republic and we didn't need to vote for stuff like this. What form of government would you prefer? Communism? Socialism? Nazism? Because all of them have been proven to fail.
He was speeding tho
Never give the police permission to search your car.
In England you can't stop your car being ripped apart by police !they don't need permission!.
Like you can say that police can do what they want
They'll make up a probable cause and steal your money.
As I'm traveling the interstates and byways of America as a trucker I'm still amazed at all the fools who consent to a search. They will call backup and completely toss your car. I see this every single day. Oh yeah, money can now be scanned and seen on a Rad scanner so protect your money.
gold9er does not matter yes or no, they are going to search it, what are you gonna do? They might hand cuff you if you say no
So the bottom of the line is cops and the attorney worked together to take $6823.02 from him legally at the end.
I'm sure the cops got kickbacks from the attorney
Yes
19,000 then he had to spend 7,000 for lawyers to get back his 12,000. Thats messed up
*11k back for court fees too*
This is called betrayal of public trust .
I would have civilly sued for emotional and financial hardships
Miguel Bermudez isn’t it also invasion of privacy for him going through his phone
@@fuckbrawadis2844 the idiots consented to a search
Getting robbed by cops should have penalties applied to those officers. This guy spent over $6,000 to get his property of money back into his hands. That is WRONG!
Tsavos Alliance
This is one of the way they steal money from the PUBLIC all in the name of KEEPING THE PEACE and PROTECTING THE INNOCENTS. A lot of what public goes through at the hands of these so-called public servants is RUNAROUNDS and RIGMAROLES over NOTHING all the while they siphon public's hard-earned money... lol... Why do you think they are always changing and adding new laws in the book IN THOUSANDS every year? Because everyone in the country is GUILTY OF SOMETHING???? Having one more law in the book means one more ways they can STEAL money from the public... LMAO!!!!
Yes it is!!! Wrong is an understatement!
Oh yeah the screwed up part is a lot of time they will intimidate you into taking less as well. Under Eric holder they were targeting gun stores with "asset forfeiture" remember one guy had six figures stolen from business account essentially stopping him from paying payroll or buying new inventory killing his business. Something along the lines of transactions around certain limits made it suspicious.
Anyways when he showed up to court with a good lawyer immaculate records and book keeping. They essentially blackmailed him said we will give you half back if you fight us on it we will tie this money up in court for decades.
if cops or society let's 100 people rape a women with the intelect of a 9 year old from dusk to dawn. and nothing happens.... so rape is legal if you do it to special needs kids or orphans. america is great
He should bring up a law suit. Time loss and harassment.
Dee-Jay Javi Exactly what I was thinking...he wound up losing over half of it because of lawyers fees. He needs to sue the cops individually, (but they probably have qualified immunity). Or the police department and state. This was so obviously asset forfeiture. The sad thing is this naieve kid and the driver had no clue about their rights and were honest and look where it got him! Cops don't care about citizens or our rights. We are viewed as criminals and revenue generators...that's it.
Brenda Bilotti I agree tho.But you know when you sue the cop,they will probably find some lame excuses such as “oh we were just following the law,and we had to carry out what we had to do”. Seriously man,cops are just screwed up.
This is why, you must stand your ground and not answer any ?'s Ever.
They were fools to allow the police officer to search the car, He was a fool to allow them to open the back pack and he was a fool to give him the key to open up the lock box, He was a fool to allow him search his phone.
Their should be a law, where cops have to tell you your rights, before they are allowed to speak with you. A law requiring Police to let you know you have the right to refuse a search, without predjudice or Vindicitveness. You have a right to remain silnet and not answer any of my ?'s.
Suppose you say i came from "X" town, the Pokice officer then asks you where your coming from, and you reply, Ohh, I came from "X" town, Now a Robbery took place in "X" town and it was two Male Hispanics. Guess what? You came from "X", You are both male Hispanics. Now you are both going to be detained until they verify it wasn't you. That can take days, until they find the witness that cliamed it was two hispanics. That is why you never tell them where you are going to, or where you are coming from.
It's non of their Buisness, what the hell does that have to do with a ticket? Nothing. They are fishing and looking for an Excuse to make a casd out of anything for any reason.
Don't be fooled. The more ?'s you answer, the more they can detain you.
Even if he ask's you where your coming from or where your going, tell him striaght out, none of your buisness or if you choose to be polite, just say i choose to excersise my right and remain silent, please issue me a warning or citation and let me go on my way. If he continues to ask ?'s You repeat , Am I under arrest? Am i Free to go. I wanylt my lawyer now and your cammanding Officer here to the scene as i do not feel safe with you at this time.
Make sure your phone is on at all times and send it live, just incase they try to take your phone.
Cop's only make money when they make arrests, "Overtime" and "Promotions" by Arrests.
They law is an Evil Entity.
Since what they did was 100% legal I highly doubt any Court would side with him. The courts are the ones who decided that it's legal for the cops to steal from innocent people to begin with.
yeah that wouldn't cost over 100k.
Arrested for having money?
I’m safe.
Me too , they'll never catch me with that kind if money , because i'll never have it.
You’re still fucked if you get arrested
Hes "safe"
me too, prob get arrested for having too little money...Lol
Lol, movement ME TOO.
Also, they will always stop you if you are out of state..... Never volunteer anything....ever. They are not your friends. DO NOT allow a search of the vehicle.
That does seem to be a pattern. Which makes sense when you consider this is to purely fund police departments, so they figure, better the money be coming INto the state.
Poor kid. The police should have been made responsible for his lawyer's fees also. And, he should have received interest on his money for the time it was withheld from him.
I think the lawyer fees were covered because it looked like he got 18k back and 7 of it went to the lawyer.
@@ChartsandStats he had 20k. If the fees were covered it should have been 27k paid to him.
They do what they want. I had the police try to sell my car on police auction. A year later the court awarded me the car back. 6 months later the police finally gave me the car back. When i asked where it was, they claimed they didnt know.
7 grand of saving more and he gets the money back poor mutherfucker god how unlucky and how unreasonable oh yeah i jsut saved up ima buy a place to lvie in cash the cvops so nope its drug mo ney lets make this the dumbest case ever 2 years late the guy gets it back and enver wikll travel with money again
was about to add just that 👍🏼
I feel for this guy. He's still out $8K in lawyer fees, and was never charged with a crime.
But there is a lesson here. Never talk to LE. Never consent to a search...If you let a thief in your car, he's going to steal from you.
Don't consent? Sorry, but that's textbook law, not real life. Getting consent is just a formality. If he says no, they'll find a way to get a warrant... and then later they're pissed off and tearing his car apart because he didn't cooperate. If he's lucky, they won't find any drugs that "mysteriously weren't there when they stopped him".
Man I feel this guy too I spent 5000 on a lawyer and my charges were dropped I was proven innocent because a cop lied on me
Poor Finian they tore my car apart after they found my weed. After I gave concent.
Poor Finian they had no probable cause or reason to get a warrant he just said mind if I️ search the car and the guy said sure like a dumbass just say no pig
Poor Finian Sad but we live a police state these days.
You can carry any amount of money with you! This man had right 10000% violated these cops should be fired and demanded to return the $
@Bud Grimfield huh? False there is no law just for transactions 10,000 or more.
@Bud Grimfield maybe federal
You can't carry above 500$ cash unless you're known to be a famous celebrity
@Bud Grimfield There is no law stating the maximum amount of money to legally carry on your person. I think you got it mixed up with the federal law regarding U.S. Custom Border and Protection. That law states you can carry any amount of cash on your person but if you are traveling in or out of the United States and it is more than $10,000 then you have to declare it. You can carry $100,000 on your person if you want and it still be legal. Just don't flaunt the cash to the police to raise some suspicious looks.
California is 10k cash. Anything over is illegal
So much for being free and due process. A government that does this is no longer protecting it's citizens' rights.
Exactly! It has become a tyranny. The only things left to do are find a way to make cops completely immune for violating citizens' rights and committing crimes against them and get rid of our republican form of government. The trump administration and the GOP are working on both.
We live in a police state
The entire police department needs to be charge with embezzlement
There were nearly $7000 in fees taken from him I hope he sued the pd for triple the amount.
And how is he gonna pay for a lawyer
a1919akelbo there are lawyers who will fight the case without charging at first knowing they have a high chance to win a lot of money for their client
a1919akelbo lawyers will do it for free if they know they will get a percentage at the end. I forget the word for it.
Shawn V most call it "contingency"
pinnkang yea
Why didn't he sue the police for damages? This needs to progress further
You can hardly ever sue the police
This doesn't happen to people who can afford to sue.
Why is the state not covering the cost, he was cleared. ☹️
It’s fucked up. This happens all the time. If you’re found not guilty for whatever crime, you don’t get your legal expenses covered. That’s just the way things go. Not sure if there’s any good solution
Send a message
Its illegal to have your own money?
sun spots T. Appently it is !!
no. Basically this idiot has no idea how law actually works. This is what happens when you watch dancing with the stars instead of studying real law.
Feriin exactly he didn’t even stick up for his own rights. They should have been on IG live soon as they got pulled over. He should have known the police are the biggest thief’s in the U.S.
It's illegal until you prove its legal
LOL
Yeah you have to show proof of income otherwise they can claim it as drug money.
This is why you don't talk to cops.
How is being detained not being arrested?
Came from my grandmother MY ASS !! The IRS should skin him alive and investigate all his 'cousins'. You'll be surprised....
That is what sunk the officer's case. He read the Miranda rights, which meant he was being arrested. Any lawyer will point that out immediately.
@@blackmamba99971 Look, they can call it anything they want BUT when cuffs are put on a mans wrist- or he is verbally told he is not free to leave- then he is under arrest. And Arrest is defined very clearly for the mainstreamers as: seize (someone) by legal authority and take into custody. If you are unable to leave then you have been ceased and remanded in the custody of the men with guns- THAT IS AN ARREST- UNLAWFUL AS IT MAY BE! They keep taking law and perverting in such a way that even some old school lawyers are scratching their heads in disbelief. Yet the corrupt system WILL never be any better. And sadly at NO time in history and in no place in the world has any significant change occurred that destroyed evil doers- just by talking it out. Unfortunately, lives and fortunes were sacrificed to bring about great change.
What see you saying?
That's grand larceny.
And armed robbery
then the cops say why do people hate us
David Duarte they should be saying why are people always killing us.
The problem is that your 90% keeps their mouths shut about the other 10% .
I'm a waterfowl hunting guide and guess what kind of people I take hunting. The 90%. We get to talk and joke around and as long as they get their ducks all is well. Beware of the cops from Memphis. Tossed em out of the club one day.
David Duarte not all cops are bad okay. Many of them don’t deserve to be hated
Most of cops arre good only like a very very little amount are bad
It's fucked up he had to pay to get his money back
KoH- ZoZo yeah no kidding... the police department should be forced to pay for his lawyers on this one
He should have gotten every cent of his money back plus attorney fees and and 7% interest for every month he didn't have his money.
I had this happen to me traveling through Wisconsin. They took my money ($3700), computer, phone, impounded my car, etc. Found absolutely NOTHING illegal. Took me over two years to get the money back after I had spent nearly as much on lawyers. They denied ever taking my computer so I was not able to get it back. Needless to say I will not be going to Wisconsin again anytime soon.
What county pulled you over? I live in Wis.
No thank you. You cannot search the vehicle. Have a nice day.
Said the white person 😂
Then they arrest him good bye .
You know your rights sure but cops know how to abuse those rights alot more then you know how to exercise your rights ... probable cause is a easy loophole for most of their bs and they can make up almost anything for it
@@wavybloo9785 I'm mixed race. More white then black
Many cases of this. No charges filed. Money stolen.
What cases?
Criminal / civil fofeiture
Luis Hernandez LOTS OF CASES
Happend to me one time in springfield MA. thank god it wasnt $18000 like this man but they did stole $60 when asked for my money back they told me WHAT MONEY! They Asked me to get myself a lawyer if i had a problem! Smh this happens people just know theres good officers and bad one like these. Not all are bad!
Policing for profit.

Exactly and always carry a dashcam for protection
xuav Rice or then they will think most of the time that you up to something for saying no even tho you just don’t want them to
nowa days thiefs come in uniform
Never convicted of any crime, never even charged with one, but gave $7,000 to lawyers to get back the $20K. Have a good day.

Welcome to the United States of America, my friend! :)
Crap like this is a major part of why I left the US... This man works his ass off and saves honest money, and is robbed of half of it... DISGUSTING
James P stay where you're at then no one misses you over here
James P What’s the difference? Go to Europa socialists steal your pay check and they won’t even give it back
I left too. US is a fucked up country. Government so corrupt
Where do you live now
James P where did you end up going man
when the officer said can i ask you a couple questions he should have said no thanks im in a hurry..
The cop made the search sound as if it was casual ,to me it sounde that’s what he had in mind all along.
That was obvious with how he was talking before he insisted on doing so, the filth that was the cop was manipulating the poor guy and he fell for it.
Sick sad world full of greedy thieves.
hey Earthling, that's random, I've been subbed to your channel for years
The police have become highway robbers.
Do not consent to your car being searched if they have no probable cause for the search. They may even frame you up with drugs. It has happened before.
esp when there cars and guns are paid with our tax dollars and their corrupt tickets.. definition of ultimate fucked up greed
Whose being a greedy thief?
Lol police never catch me, my bike is too fast 😂
If these were a group of celebrities with that much money there's no way in hell it would be seized.. But since it's a kid from Detroit it's automatically drug money. I would have fought that case until my heart stopped. I feel for this man.
Jason Voorhees yeah and lose all the money in fees anyway
its always worth clearing your name
Jason, better than letting the pigs steal it.
"Dont walk around with too much 💰 or the police will take it"
sound advice
In some states anything over $50 is considered too much
This is an example of getting laws for one reason and than misused/used for another reason.
That some police departments use this to fund slash funds has also surfaced.
This law most likely ushered in to "combat" gangs/drug crimes.
That it now often costs people thousands of dollars in legal fees to get their hard earned wages returned is truly not just.
Good honest kid getting falsely accused of something he didnt do
That cop should be fired for stealing and making an unlawful search.
I thought its pretty well known your going to have a bad time if you get pulled over with more than 10k
it’s not stealing
the cop didn’t take it
The search wasn't unlawful, consent was given.
Colored Printer cop did take it because he spend 7 thousand of his own money to get HIS money back.
I was just telling someone the other day that they could do that but he didnt believe me !!
"I do not consent to any searches" is Always the correct response.
They gave a thief permission to search the car and the thief did what thieves do.
This happened to me 2 years ago in Mississippi, they pulled me over for swerving ( one of there bullshit reasons) they asked to search, i said no, they called for k9 and said the dog was alerted to drugs (bullshit) upon searching they found 15k in my briefcase and said they were gonna seize it, I responded by telling them i am not gonna fight with all of you on the side of this highway over this money, but i will fight you in court because i have a lot more money where that came from, and i am gonna go for the profits and interest that i would have made from that money, seeing that you are interfering with my business, they huddled together for 5 minutes, thought about what i said and returned my cash to me. I don't know when it became illegal to carry hard earned cash, but this road piracy needs to be stopped before someone reacts with violence to being robbed of what is rightfully and legally theirs.
Great comment
Yup!!! I agree. When those 5 cops in Texas got gunned down all I could think about was instances like what we just saw on this video.
Most people would rather just do good and live their lives out in peace. But one of these days one of these cops are going to screw over the wrong individual and there will probably be many cops (who had absolutely nothing to do with the original incident) who lose their lives as revenge. They should stop pretending that this stuff doesn’t add up and creating diversions to cover up their atrocities such as saying “it’s the media’s fault people hate police” which is bullshit.
+J's Activity Channel what they realized your pants were full of stinking crap so they didnt want your stinking money either.
Cme Ya u probably had drug money, too bad they didn't get that cash $15k
Cme Ya lol your a fake this story was on the news years ago not months
Arrested for having money. That’s ridiculous. Hope the officer was held accountable for being so incredibly wrong, dishonest and cruel.
sue them all
PSA: Never consent to a search without a warrant even if you are innocent. If the police are asking to search your vehicle they are already suspicious for whatever reason and you do not want to give them any grounds to abuse their power. Don't get me wrong, I respect law enforcement and will cooperate but I wont stand for having my rights taken away from me.
Karjeezy and he shouldn’t of answered any questions
I have no respect for cops and never will. It doesn't matter if you tell them no. There's this thing called probable cause. And they can use anything they want as an excuse to search you and your vehicle. And they can take anything they want.
U don’t need a warrant to search a car lmaooo
Mattheg Fredriksen bruh.
Mattheg Fredriksen your joking right
And law Enforcement wonders why people hate them, this type of activity in unethical, greedy, thievery and the karma that comes back to them for their actions is deserved.
Actually people hate law enforcement because the cop is almost shot but he defends himself and is suddenly the bad guy.
@@tristancauser390 keep telling yourself that. Dumbass
@@anthonyalvarez2217 You know it's true. Keep telling your self it isn't true. Dumbass. I wouldn't expect someone with the last name Alvarez to understand US laws. You probably live in California and don't have documents.
It's really a bit of both. The aforementioned greedy practices and the occasional bad apple are why the outrage started, but the media uses the cops shooting in self defense and spin it in such a way that they make the problem worse.
@@anthonyalvarez2217 I may have seemed racist but you initiated the name-calling and not all cops are bad. You have never heard over 100,000 news stories about individual cops killing innocent people. It happens occasionally. There are way more cops than news stories about cops. Most of the times you do hear about killer cops, they are shooting criminals who didn't follow orders. When you aim at a cop, he has the right to defend himself just like you have the right to defend yourself from a guy who comes into your home. We all have the right to defend ourselves, including cops.
It used to be much worse before mandatory recordings, they're just a lil more crafty nowadays.
He gave him a couple of hundred dollars back? From money supposedly siezed for being earned from so called crime? That itself is a crime

Never talk to The Police! Never consent to a search!

exactly!
That’s one way to get arrested

Asking GOD'S blessings for this young man!
Sounds like hes like all the other cops who try to ruin somebody's life! Just to take their money
Well, the good news is that the court ordered the money to be returned to Michael Sachez-Ratliff. I sincerely hope that he will be compensated for the legal costs spent to get that money back (and for the officer(s) disciplined).
Really atrocious stuff.
David Hollingsworth they won’t reimburse that at all. No one has EVER successfully sued a department and won their case against wrongful seizure. He would’ve spent at least another $7k just to do THAT process as well.
Lose-Lose situation. It’s robbery. Plain and simple
David Hollingsworth I wonder if the cops involved gotten trouble kicked off the force?
Kevin Hoskins they won’t. It’s not designed to work that way
David Hollingsworth plus interest its only fair
Great point. I just left a lengthy comment on this very issue. Many citizens, if not most are unaware that if the case is disposed of in your favor, you are entitled to an award of reasonable attorney's fees and costs for defending the case. This is codified in the state statutes of every state and supported by valid case law. After the disposition of the case there is generally a statute of limitations with which to file a motion for these fees and costs. Usually 14 days but varies by jurisdiction. As a rule of thumb, never trust anyone in the judiciary. The citizens are ignorant to the law and everyone within the judiciary preys upon that ignorance. I am currently researching cases from multiple jurisdictions to find out if counsel for the winning defendant has gone back after the dissolution of the case and filed the motion for costs and fees and if so, whether or not the defendants were aware and received compensation or the attorney double dipped. I do not trust attorneys and judges nor should anyone else.
Be safe sir and as I inform everyone I speak with, study the law for at least 30 minutes a day. The world is controlled by laws and if you are not aware of them, you are controlled by both people who don't and people who do. Let's face it, if you are unaware of the law, how will you ever know if the person who is telling you the law is accurate or not.
How dare people have money! Damn cops have no right to assume and seize property like that.
Thats why they drop like flies. When bread is old or stale do you throw it out if its no good? Cops that are no good get thrown out.
He saved his money.
Leave him alone.
Five miles over speed limit ... cop was profiling all the way to the bank.
Police need to read the Fourth Amendment and courts should enforce it and hold the police accountable.
Swinde the State courts don't adhere to the Constitution like they should and this is why cases that involve rights infringement should be moved into Federal Court Jurisdiction so the odds of the State being compelled to uphold their contract with the Federal Government are higher.
This is fucked up, but honestly...
DO NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS!
DO NOT CONSENT TO SEARCHES!
Still happens man
Yeah, and then end up with your face in the pavement or killed for resisting arrest. They can do whatever they want in that moment that they stop you, as they've shown time and time again. The rules of law don't mean jack to cops like these, if they want to search you or your car, they will, with or without a warrant. Fucked up and pretty scary shit.
I'm not suggesting you actively resist, even if what they're doing appears totally illegal. If you give consent however, you've just pissed away your shot at challenging whatever evidence they 'uncover' later at trial.
Malovon.
Thomas McDonald actually it’s not a “fake” drug dog that they bring out.
They bring out Currency dogs trained to pick up the smell of the ink used on money. You got $1 the dog will find it. And if the cop is REALLY a jerk he/she can legally take that $1 too.
The lesson learned after watching this video is to avoid holding large amounts of cash while traveling and police are not your friends.
As a United States citizen, my apologies young man. I hope that you got your money back .
He got his money back after spending $8,000 on a thieving lawyer!
Should've sued them
Chief Beef
It is easier said than done. LOL... suing means spending more money out of his pocket. After everything is said and done, he may not get much because this only involved $19,000 dollar. On top of that his lawyer will take half of the settlement and top of that of whatever is left GOBERMINT will take some money for tax... So all in all it would be USELESS for him to take his time and spend more of his money SUING THE GOBERMINT... lol...
Only the wealthy can afford justice.
For what? Carrying out their lawful duties? If they weren't behaving within the law then why did the courts not demand that the money be immediately returned to him?

*"JUST BECAUSE it is a LAW DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT."* Just going up to POOR MOM and POP shop and shutting them DOWN, because they didn't DEPOSIT all of their MONEY into their BANK ACCOUNT is NOT RIGHT. These people are not DRUG LORDS, KING PINS or even TERRORISTS, but EVERY DAY FOLKS trying make a LIVING as best as they know how. Here watch this video, my friend.... :) th-cam.com/video/WOwMDaNZKNA/w-d-xo.html
If you have around $10,000 in cash or more then you should also have the documentation to show the source of those funds. If you don't then it is safe for them to assume that it came from illegal sources and confiscate it until you can prove otherwise. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it's wrong.
Never consent to a search! Nothing to hide don't mean shit!
some body
They can't do anything about it, doesn't matter what they think. Some cops will stage stuff.
“Land of the free and home of the brave“. Makes me feel that you would be brave to think you’re free.
you dont answer questions the cops act like there your friend while they look for a reason to fine or steal from you
Thank god I learned this at a young age, stay safe.
extortion at it's finest
Just "doing their job" ...
Armed robbery....a felony.
Law enforcement makes up the laws as they go and the justice system supports them in their crime. They violated ALL of his rights.
What right did they violate?
@@Firetut100His natural rights. They stole his property. 🤡
I hope he is suing them for the time and hardship. What a fu_ked up deal.
You watch too much TV.
America is sue happy
"Don't walk around with too much money or the police will take it..." lol
5 MPH aint over..
Ok..
Can i search the vehical?
No!
Police earn the hate
no idiots make others suffer because of there stupidity
I am not against police but slowly I really dislike them for what they are doing over powered pricks !!!!!!!!!
Nelson Jones they worked hard for it lol, wouldn't be right not to hate em after all that
RedIce Jr police earn the hate
So you were detained/arrested for having too much money. That's insane.
Never answer any question s voluntarily or they will use it for their excuse to run their scam or further their illegal and immoral acts.
Here in Sweden if u win a case the losing side is paying for your legal fees. Maybe something u need in the us
Daniel Karlsson the us government is way to damn greedy
Soooo Wavy
It is not ONLY that... Your GOING UP AGAINST THE GOBERMINT. You are playing their GAME within their SANDBOX. lol... What Daniel Karlsson said would only apply to people against people, companies against companies, people against companies, but the public or the people against the GOBERMINT.... NO NO NO... It ain't happening... lol...
+If President does it, it is NOT ILLEGAL
You need an English class pronto
Geee thanks Brah... me inglish need now pronto no.... :)
same in australia you get costs ,lost wages transport everything you can think of including the lawyers fees,
Never give consent to let them search
Chief Beef I got to agree with that and I always travel clean.
Yea fight it, they will eventually search anyway via fake dog hit or some other means but still fight until the end
@Chief Beef - Police do what they want, what America do you live in, only the privileged believes your statement works!
The point is to make them really work for it and figure out which ones will try to break to the law just to get their way.
Some people who its done to are completely innocent and cops are trying to pin whatever they can on them and essentially steal their money and/or property.
Travel clean I wish I had that entitlement but I just happen to be of color so that makes me exempt or a target for life. The boys in blue is apart of the biggest gang and corrupt organization in the world.
In fact if you have family friends or associates that’s in law enforcement they are criminals some career criminals if they retire. Police claims they can’t solve crimes with reluctanted citizens scared or harboring information.
New flash the original Stop Snitching was initiated by the police to protect their own “ THE BLUE WALL” I’ve witnessed police lie under oath and destroyed people’s lives financially by incarceration, representation and even death.
Only the privilege and those entitled believe in law enforcement, me as a black man I rather take my chances in the hood, at least the rules are clear and I have a fighting chance
He made a huge mistake carrying all that cash with him. He should have just brought his card and done a withdraw at his destination.
No, he didn't do shit. Why is it his fault that he carried his own money?
Banks won’t even let you withdraw that much cash anymore, especially if it’s not your home branch location...
Even your home branch location will “raise flags” for trying to withdraw your own money.
@@iaiband well not all at once I think, try doing it in increments
Thats called structuring and thats considered money laundering.
@@thegmack1019 fr? Man the Rothschilds are abuncha evil clowns
Freedom? Loool what a damn joke
Civil asset forfeiture is a crime against humanity!
ya, that's messed up. i would be suing them
And against the constitution which is what the gov't has been doing since 911.
After watching this, I'm not believing in anyone. Even the police.
I'll give them little to no information.
DTA-don’t trust anyone. Cops are just people, they are not exempt.
"Can I search the vehicle?" "Sure" .... Know your rights people.
Yes. NEVER travel with that much cash.... at least do not let anyone know.... keep it underneath the vehicle... sue the department and you will get your money back.
You hope. Usually they want their 10 - 20%
This is appalling.
A man walking around with $19K in his pocket? You're right that is appalling because nobody does that, nobody.
Joe Mama No one you know.
Joe Mama... Not going to get into the particulars, but you don't have to be "rich" to have $20k on you for short periods of time every once in a REALLY blue moon.
This could have been avoided if he never would have consented to having his vehicle searched,😒 they only stopped him for driving 5mph over the speed limit.😐
Even if it was drug money they got no evidence it is drug money my dude hope u fought in court
Damn when I was his age my life savings was maybe $1000. Lol.
Criminal justice system is exactly what it is!!!!
they knew it wasnt drug money they just wanted to split it among themselves like common crooks
ozzy kimble your so right ,OZZY
The land of the free. Yeah right!
go to north korea they will show you now freedom dumb ass
RedIce Jr you want to try that again so that it can be understood. Your point is invalid
Jared Ramirez What ?? . ."The Land of the Free ?? . .Whoever told ya that was your ENEMY !
Jared Ramirez No country is perfect nor will there ever exist a country that is perfect but we are pretty high up there on great places to live. We seem to be getting worse over time though thanks to people with no backbones trying to restrict us and create more laws it seems:/
Used to be until TronalDump
It's pretty sad that we have to resort to hidden compartments like the actual drug mules use..
NEVER Give Permission - Make Them Get a Warrant
So cause he's Hispanic an his last name is sanchez,with a lot of money automatically means he's a drug cartel? Racial profiling if you ask me.
Where in the video did they talk about race? Educate yourself. Not everything is race
So where in the video is there proof that it's drug money? So We just go by what the police say, Without evidence?. Educate yourself first before you comment anything about anyone else.
@@VicTV636 before you tell people to educate themselves maybe you should pick up a basic law book and do some reading.
When he failed to tell the cops about the second bundle of $10,000 in the safety deposit box and told them he only had the first $10,000, he fucked himself. He could've refused to allow them to search his backpack, but then they would've detained him and gotten a warrant, making things even worse for him.
If he had've just said "I have $10,000 in my backpack and another $10,000 in my deposit box", then tell them the reason why, they would've let him go. I know I've had to do it myself when buying cars.
Dam these people have nothing better to do,glad I could help.
Nah they did it out here in east tx. Whites geting robbed by the cops daily. If you have cash on you they just took it.
If I bring a unwarranted civil suit against someone and the court finds in their favor, then the court can order the plaintiff to pay legal fees for the respondent. Why don't we just pass a law that says when the departments seizing this money are found to be in the wrong that THE DEPARTMENT pays the legal fees for the plaintiff in their effort to get their property back. This way even if some innocent civilian is inconvenienced with the police putting their life savings on trial, at the end of the day it doesn't cost them to get it back. This would make it easier to get attorneys who would work on a contingency basis, and innocent people would not get monetarily punished for having done nothing wrong. It also by proxy would financially punish departments who abuse their sizing powers, thus negating the temptation to seize property without a good amount of evidence since it could cost them to be wrong.
Jesse Brennan that thinkin ur doin is gunna get you killed boy
IKR reaching into the laws purse to "steal" our money back would probably make it hard for officers to work fraudulent overtime shifts from their couch.
Pretty much there is so much redundancy against getting back what government steals. You see those wrongfully convicted people walking away with millions they are lotto winniners. Most people just lose a few decades of life get shoved out with clothes on back and a gag order that will send them back to prison if they speak about any of it.
And where do you think that money to pay the attorneys fees would come from? TAXES Our taxes is where it comes from. So the police are forced to return the money and then our taxes will be used to pay the costs. Just like when you sue a city or county and they lose, it’s our taxes that are used to pay the penalties. It will only change when the cops have to pay out of their pocket
Yes and no because if you don't seize steal stuff without merit you wont get in trouble I know several police departments that it is policy to take any cash when pulling over out state people. Because they know people wont travel back to state and spend more money fighting it in court.
So all they have to do "not to pay the penalty" stop taking peoples valuables. Seriously that easy in order to not lose money. Also not the careful wording "unwarranted/frivolous" if they just take any money they stumble across forcing you to fight them that is "unwarranted" if they found a pile of cash next to a pile of drugs that is warranted.
But sad thing is yes some town places will get hurt by stuff like this but fact is they act in a way to keep locals ignorant. Like the "out of state policy" of just stealing whatever people you pull over have on them. It fluffs the department budget makes department look good to locals, who also don't know what is going on. Fact is without repercussions bad behavior will continue. Especially since this allows bad agencys to bypass oversight. We the people view cops negatively we don't vote for politicians looking to give cops huge increase in budget. Which makes them go maybe we should stop beating up minority's and gay people. However the biggest danger with seizing is fact they can grow budget far past what was given to them.
Even if we do not go for the allowing people to recover damages such as legal fees for cases where seizure was unwarranted. I definitely think that no government agency should be able to go past budget period. Seizure money should go back to federal pot for "cooling" period if unclaimed it will go towards "debt". Same goes with fines. The only ONLY outside money beyond budget should be fee's IF the fee is comparable to the service rendered and is voluntary not punitive or compulsory.
20,000 minus 7,000....smdh. He didn't even sound mad. Even if he knew his rights he still would have gotten jacked by the cops, they do what they want. Period
