nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation
Guess that is just optional

this, coupled with the continual beatings and militarization, is one of the main reasons why i have little respect for law enforcement.

They tell you you can have a trial, if you want, but in the meantime, they're putting your kids into the foster care system. Or you can let them keep the $1500 they found in your car and you can take your kids and leave town today. Or you can stay for a trial, but if the jury decides that $2500 in your glove compartment wasn't to buy a used car in the nearby city but illegal drug money, you lose your car and your money and you do jail time. And by the way you'll need a lawyer. OR you can just let them keep the money and also that nice lap top in the back seat (which you probably also got with drug money) and drive away this afternoon. The police target lower income/immigrant type people because they know they can intimate them. And they never target their local citizens, always out of staters (otherwise how could the sheriff get re-elected??) Outrageous. Small town sheriffs acting like tyrannical big frogs in little ponds.

Word of advice- stay the hell out of TN if you are carrying a lot of cash on the highway- you might lose it.
In fact better advice- no matter what the reason- don't carry a lot of cash anywhere- you sell a car for cash do it in your bank parking lot. Can't trust the cops these days.

It is horrible. And there very little most people can do about it.If you fight and even if you win, it could still end up costing you more then it if you had just paid the extortion.
