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

"boondockdad".....You need to get your information straight. Seizure of cash is not a "windfall" for a police department. In California, one third of the seizure goes to the agency who seized it, Sheriff, Police, etc. That money can only be used for buying equipment. There were STRICT guidelines for it's use. I used it several times to buy badly needed new robots for our unit. One third goes to the State and the last third goes to Mental Health for drug programs. So it's certainly not a windfall to the agency who seized it.
Sure.
Here's another LEO that doesn't have his "information straight".

You posted a video that proves exactly what Don told you. This Chief is saying very little money comes in from asset forfeiture so they can't rely on it for anything that requires continued funding. They use it for one time purchases of specialty items. Exactly what Don said.
