Stopped in motor home for going too slow on I-80
This just goes to show how things can escalate to a huge problem when you are just driving along minding your own business. Kinda hard to believe this goes on. Motor home stopped for going too slow

Some years ago the Feds passed a set of laws calle RICO (Racketeer Influenced Criminal Origination as I recall) These laws allow the government to seize cash and property from those accused of a range of crimes.. IE: Narcotics, Bribery, Murder.. IF the government feels that illegal money was used to obtain said property.. The law's intent is to put drug dealers (Primarily) in the poor house.
Two problems however: First. The odds a sniffing dog would "HIT" on the money in your wallet is so close to 100% it is outrageous.. Understand I'm not accusing you of anything other than haveing money in your wallet. The money itself is drug tainted. (From prior handling).
Second: I know for a fact that even in relative law abiding (As far as police are concerned) states such as Michigan there have been seminars on "How to confiscate cash or houses even if NO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IS SUSPECTED"
In fact. I have met the instructor.
I will not post my opinion of this... Because if I did .. .Well.. I just do not like using that kind of language.
