DEA takes $16,000 cash from black man on train, leaves him penniless

There’s racism no doubt, but to choose to abandon your rights because you assume they won’t be respected or upheld is an unfortunate strategy. By that rationale military personnel shouldn’t report sexual assaults, since it’s been shown that reporting seldom works out well for rape victims.

It might even run afoul of the Federal Claims Act.

Thank you for posting this. When will people realise that the moral implications of an action can be completely ignored once a germane law has been codified.

Well, there’s OtherMichel.

But usually it’s OtherMichel’s own dastardly deeds being blamed on @OtherMichael

But nobody is innocent! So, if you want some nice photos of your family, you should pay the police to take them for you.

The article says that absent your consent to a search, they can hold your bags —but not your person — until such time as they can get a search warrant. It’s safe to assume all cops know which pro-LE judges to call and thus the warrant is a rubberstamped formality.

The lesson is keep your cash on your person, not in your bags.
