Until they claimed the "racial profiling" by the DEA officers. NOT TRUE. The first log they show in the report with predominately BM and only 2 WM, was specifically selected and shorten in length to claim Black discrimination by the Agents. They reveal their dishonesty in the same video when the video reaches 18:19, they show a complete 30-day log of money seizures taken by the agents dates 9/30 to 10/30. And although they "purposely" scrolled it down on screen significantly fast, so the viewer wouldn't catch the alleged racial profiling reported, I paused the video and I counted. I tallied the entire log (not the one they selected) and this was the outcome of 30 days: BM(F): 25, WM(F): 29, HSPM(F): 9, ASM(F): 6.

Mistrust is a better word. I got screwed over by a cop and State Attorney years ago. Then I majored in Criminal Justice with a criminal law class. Man oh man, those cops took advantage of my lack of knowledge!! It will never happen again!! (BTW - they were both fired eventually so I guess they tried to screw too many people.
We need law enforcement, but DEA bugs on plane spots and travel ports are not only an overreach, but basically illegal moves disguised as "cold consent" to siphon money into a few people in different police departments.
You’re right. I watched a video where a man’s life savings was taken from from after being pulled over. He was pretty much left on the side of the road with nothing. The video is here on TH-cam somewhere. It took him a while to get it back. It’s disgusting.
THEY GOT TO KEEP 10%.. IT TOOK 1 YEAR TO SEIZE 1.1 MIL... THEY USED 6 FULL TIME COPS TO KEEP 110 THOUSAND.. THATS A TOTAL WASTE OF MAN HOURS AS THOSE COPS MAKE AROUND 500 G BETWEEN THE 6 OF THEM. THEY SPEND WAY MORE GETTING THE MONEY THAN ITS WORTH
There is a video of a disgraced officer who was handcuffed, his kevlar vest and duty belt was removed, then another officer CUT THAT OFFICER'S UNIFORM FROM OFF OF HIM. I was angry about this at first. But when I found out by local news what he was arrested for, I understood.
It's a federal ponzy scheme then they launder it to other police department in increments undetectable to not pay taxes on the money they steal. This also has state troopers doing the exact same thing on taxpayer's highways.
The guy from New Orleans should have gotten his money back plus fees for lost wages, interest, pain, and suffering, unrealized gains on his capitol and lost time on trying to obtain his lost money back. Absolutely disgusting.
^^^ I came here to say this exact thing. Terrible treatment this man received especially after losing so much all at once. Those bogus agents took what little was left. Shameful.
And when the money was returned by the courts to make a motion to dismiss the case "with prejudice", which prevents the agencies from ever again taking action due to: 1) making false charges, 2) lack of authority (acting without probable cause) and 3) lack of right (denial of due process because the agents make no effort to check all passengers for all forms of transferable wealth). A person with nefarious intents could be carrying, pound for pound, thousands of times the face value in bearer bonds as in cash in a valise--those hillbilly cops wouldn't have a clue what they held in their hands.
Saying that the Gucci bag is an indicator of a drug dealer is total BS. What the bag is an indicator of is somebody that has some extra money, and these Pirates aren't looking for drugs, they're looking for money. They're looking for indicators of people they can rob, no different than a Common Street Thug.
Sadly, this has been going on for many yrs, and by highway patrol in certain states, especially in certain areas. They claim it's the proceeds of ill-gotten gains, most times, without even stating what crime that guessing game came from. They might counter "well you didn't pay the IRS, Or taxes on it, that's a crime. It becomes a civil matter. In Civil court the burden of proof of innocence, unfortunately, is always put on you. You are never innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Not in civil court. In these thefts there's always a reasonable doubt almost always.

This past August I was flying out of Las Vegas and had $7500 in cash that I had won playing black Jack. I quietly told the TSA agent that I had it in an envelope in my front pocket. This idiot told my to put it through the scanner, I refused so he told me to take it out of the envelope hold it in my hand above my head and walk through the scanner. I'm 61 years old and was very nervous while waiting for the plane and the entire fl8ght home TSA made me a target. Fortunately, nothing happened but this agency like most federal alphabets need to be abolished or majorly overhauled.
Yea, abolished - TSA; and having a cop nation U.S., are just ways to keep others entrapped to the middle class’s agenda to keep others from doing any better, or getting any better, all so for their “safety”, and then it gives all those cops and agents job security. It's a little sick twisted game being played at the expense of those trying to reach higher states of existence out of that muck, while they keep trying to drag you back into it.
@@DeshaunDamonTSA does an X-ray of all the luggage especially carry on luggage and when they see $$$ by use if the X-ray they then call ahead to the drug interdiction people or money thieves on who to look out for to pull them out of line with the purpose of taking their money that they will get to keep and distribute amongst the agencies to pocket the money. Over 5 BILLION DOLLARS each year they keep to pocket and you’re not sure?? You MUST be working with these thieves to have any doubt about what’s going on. Any and all of these people that are involved with this system needs to be fired all property and bank accounts frozen then charged because they are involved with organized crime and let them prove their innocence. Then make sure that the same amount of stonewalling, complete lack of evidence and accountability is used against them so that it takes years to make it to court, make them spend their money that they now don’t have much of on attorney fees. Make them prove they’re not involved and they don’t have any knowledge about this cash grab system in place.
"Involuntary forfeiture" is the legal term to make it sound like "due process" was involved? Can you say new police equipment in your town or "policing for profit"?
The police are asking for passengers to sign a consent form to be searched. Therefore, once you sign the consent form you are participating in your own robbery.
yeah they threaten them with being detained. people want to get on thier flight aand have NO idea that thier money will be seized by --corrupt cops-- thieves posing as cops.

I can’t begin to tell you HOW MANY TIMES I’ve been subject to “random searches” at airport gates. Especially at ATL and DCA. I’ve had these plain clothed douchbags flat out ask how much money I had on me. Thankfully I almost never carry cash, but to have my bags emptied for no good reason is beyond humiliating… and to add insult to injury, these people would try to have “innocent” conversation with me and acted like they didn’t understand why I had an attitude. There is absolutely nothing illegal about me, yet they profiled me for looking like a decent human being in public. THANK YOU FOR REPORTING ON THIS!
I haven't seen you yet so I don't know how decent (as you describe yourself) and I am NOT doubting what you said. There must be something about you setting them off or else it wouldn't happen so many, many times. I heard one of them is last minute booking and pay with cash.

The idea was to fight drugs in the 80s by taking the dealers' cash. And the idea was that police agencies would more aggressively go after the drug trade if they got to keep a cut of the money. Still, the incentive for massive corruption was so obvious this should never have passed.
As another Canadian Canada is way worse. They froze and seized assets just because the people were protesting and Trudeau threw a temper tantrum they didn’t just obey like he commanded. Also no freedom of speech but ya, avoid the US 🙄

This happens on roadways all the time too, police seizing money from drivers pulled over for traffic infractions and then either pressured into allowing a vehical search or having a k9 unit questionably "indicate" on a walk around the car, allowing legal search and money seizure if the person can not prove on the spot that the thousands they are carrying, is not drug money.

TO ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS: NEVER volunteer consent! Instead say “Am I detained?” - this will start a timer on how long they can reasonably detain you for your potential future lawsuit, if necessary. Then, if asked for consent to search, say “I don’t give consent, I reserve my right to remain silent, and any questions can be directed to my lawyer.” Video as much of your interaction as/if possible. Then keep your mouth shut, unless repeating the same statement to any further contacts from Law Enforcement. Additional statements by YOU to LEO’s can nullify that statement, so keep that in mind. Do not reengage the conversation, unless legally necessary (i.e. providing your ID, Date of Birth, etc., when required - like a traffic stop). DO NOT BE COMBATIVE!!! Be cordial, respectful, and confident. DO NOT ARGUE IN THE CURRENT SITUATION! If arrested, be compliant and relax. DO NOT TRY TO ARGUE YOUR CASE AT THIS POINT!! Your rights are more important than your schedule - it’s worth missing your flight. Any violations that are levied against you can easily be fought in court. You WILL NOT WIN with the arresting agency, so fight it in court. Look into Attorneys On Retainer beforehand. Having an actual lawyer retained prior to any possible issues with ANY branch of law enforcement will only benefit you in the long run.
Airport officials a little different because many times you do have to comply, flying is not a right it’s a privilege. But that is a wise thing to say if you don’t want to talk to law enforcement if they ask you a lot of questions say “I do not wish to speak to you”
This is happening on the highway also. Assets forfeiture, free money, they're stealing and legally cost to much to fight to get back. It's got to stop. Thank you for the report.
I saw a YT video about that. A retired veteran was pulled over and the cops said that hwy was known for drug trafficking. They took over 80000.00 from the guy. He even had all his bank records to proof it wasn't illegally obtained.
And in Tennessee (and I'm sure elsewhere), they sit in black SUVs along the Interstates, supposedly to stop the trafficking of drugs to the major cities out east, like NYC, Boston, etc. They mainly target indie truckers. BUT, they don't stop the eastbound trucks with drugs. They stop them coming back west with the drug money, and they confiscate the money for their precincts. So much for the "war on drugs."
@@EdwardLorreto never check valuables. TSA and the airline baggage handlers touch those items. Simple, if you’re traveling with large amounts of cash, tell them you’re willing to miss your flight go get the dog. Video the entire encounter. Really, just tell them no thank you. All intimidation, zero authority to back it 🤷🏼♂️
In which case the agents will say "Okay. Please wait while we get a canine here". And the dog is trained to watch for the handlers hand signals so when it is asked to sniff your bags it will obediently wags its tail and bark, which the agent turns around and says "The dog indicated, meaning that we now have reasonable suspicion to detain you and search you and your bags".

This is why people don't like/trust the government as well as the police. But the police are only doing what the gov tells them to do. After all, it's the government that gets the money.

@@Icantevenstandit Next time you're discussing the matter, remember to bring up the fact that police are not responsible for this law. Congress is. Only they can end it.
Police enjoy enforcing it and using their power, and I guarantee cash ends up in their pockets, empowering them even more
When you steal money from innocent people there is a curse that will follow you.

Lawless enforcement is the correct phrase.
There is a video of a disgraced officer who was handcuffed, his kevlar vest and duty belt was removed, then another officer CUT THAT OFFICER'S UNIFORM FROM OFF OF HIM.
I was angry about this at first. But when I found out by local news what he was arrested for, I understood.
It's a federal ponzy scheme then they launder it to other police department in increments undetectable to not pay taxes on the money they steal. This also has state troopers doing the exact same thing on taxpayer's highways.
The fact that they don't find stuff 90% of the time is extra proof (but not the only proof) that this is unreasonable!
That fact that they aren't punished for being wrong 90 out of 100 times means they have no incentive to care about producing accurate results.

They might counter "well you didn't pay the IRS, Or taxes on it, that's a crime. It becomes a civil matter. In Civil court the burden of proof of innocence, unfortunately, is always put on you. You are never innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Not in civil court. In these thefts there's always a reasonable doubt almost always.

*Fourth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America*
*"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."*
These thugs are violating the Constitution of the US of America and breaking the law. They must be held accountable. I wonder if we could not do a citizen's arrest on them?
TO ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS: NEVER volunteer consent! Instead say “Am I detained?” - this will start a timer on how long they can reasonably detain you for your potential future lawsuit, if necessary.
Then, if asked for consent to search, say “I don’t give consent, I reserve my right to remain silent, and any questions can be directed to my lawyer.” Video as much of your interaction as/if possible. Then keep your mouth shut, unless repeating the same statement to any further contacts from Law Enforcement. Additional statements by YOU to LEO’s can nullify that statement, so keep that in mind. Do not reengage the conversation, unless legally necessary (i.e. providing your ID, Date of Birth, etc., when required - like a traffic stop). DO NOT BE COMBATIVE!!!
Be cordial, respectful, and confident. DO NOT ARGUE IN THE CURRENT SITUATION! If arrested, be compliant and relax. DO NOT TRY TO ARGUE YOUR CASE AT THIS POINT!!
Your rights are more important than your schedule - it’s worth missing your flight. Any violations that are levied against you can easily be fought in court. You WILL NOT WIN with the arresting agency, so fight it in court.
Look into Attorneys On Retainer beforehand. Having an actual lawyer retained prior to any possible issues with ANY branch of law enforcement will only benefit you in the long run.
