United States of America v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency

In a gross violation of civil liberty and further proof that our Legislature and the the Judicature are in serious need of reform, the Eighth Circuit Appeals Court has ruled...

...that if a motorist is carrying large sums of money, it is automatically subject to confiscation. In the case entitled, "United States of America v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency," the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit took that amount of cash away from Emiliano Gomez Gonzolez, a man with a "lack of significant criminal history" neither accused nor convicted of any crime.

We wouldn't have this problem if there were more [Federal] Judges like Judge White of Edgewood.
