it can push some buttons if you roll up the windows and lock the doors on your way out of the vehicle MikeyBoat New

Just say, "No, my wife is sleeping soundly in the trunk." <NT> ezwater New

Never, under any circumstances, let a cop search your car. jkodadek New

And never, NEVER, talk to the police about any kind of investigation, even if you're not the one being investigated. Gordo New

You are legally required to supply certain information to the Law. lrcable New

note

So don't. Make them waterboard you before you give up anything else. Gordo New

news

It only requires a subpoena lrcable New

warning

That is incorrect. jkodadek New

I forgot about the spouse thing lrcable New

note

It still seems odd that he had that much cash. SylvanMoses New

note

I wouldn't accept a certified check, too many scams. I bet I'm not the only one. <NT> janedoe New

note

I guess that's true. I still would have met at a bank (or something) and transferred funds. SylvanMoses New

note

I'm not sure when having money became suspicious behavior. I deal in cash for certain things... Dale New

note

You know, 20k may not be much to him so I'll concede that. However, for me it is. SylvanMoses New

note

You know, the police tried to steal this guys money. You're making excuses for the thieves... likes

Agreed <NT> DangerJudy New

note

I'm not making excuses. I just don't think the guy was smart. Being from NJ, I'll give him slack in not knowing I-40... SylvanMoses New

note

it was bad enough that they took his money, but that they took 4 months to give it back amplifies the injustice. me New

note

You can thank the war on drugs for that one... RandyH New

THANK YOU WAR ON DRUGS!!! <NT> Dale New

Outlaw the police rustyboater New

note

Like the officer said, the man didn't prove what the money was for. SylvanMoses New

doh

i dont' even get how you can kid around rustyboater New

note

Trust me, I would love to see theft charges brought against the Monterey PD. <NT> SylvanMoses New

th_up

Agreed. And it should not be necessary to "prove" what the money was for, either. rlhartman New

smile

the idea of having to "prove" you aren't using cash for illicit purposes... rustyboater New

feedback

Totally agree with your last sentence. However, I don't give the "low lifes" an automatic pass either... rlhartman New

note

If you had answered "no", then they had found the cash, you would be unlikely to ever get it back... Dale New

note

But, I suppose it's subjective. The cop didn't ask specifics... SylvanMoses New

note

You got lucky. They can and do search cars for no reason. It's called fishing... likes

Why do you think they gave him a check, instead of his actual cash back? SylvanMoses New

note

They spent the cash on beer and hookers? <NT> Dale New

It would have gone poorly for me if I answered "yes". I wasn't under oath before a judge. Just a cop. <NT> SylvanMoses New

question

isn't the correct answer to any question from a cop - "is there a problem, officer?"... goodBones New

note

whether or not he was dumb to carry that much cash is irrelevant. me New

If he was from New Jersey, he was guilty of something... Pinecricker New

Both parties are fully retarded. jkodadek New

Retarded, or queer? ezwater New

note

The one time in my life I got stopped for speeding, I found it intrusive that I was asked where I was going ... me New

th_up

I agree with you, but... Gordo New

note

Perhaps they wanted an excuse not to write a ticket swimsalot New

smile

I didn't have a legit reason, but the question was asked in a conversational manner, so it was no big deal. me New

note

That's happened to me twice, the first time... Pinecricker New

feedback

Maybe it's just my naturally friendly disposition, but last time I got pulled over... funkmop New

I guess I should also add my one good experience with a cop... likes

To be honest, I've never had a "bad" encounter with police... funkmop New

Reminds me of the time I pulled up to a DUI checkpoint with a cold beer in my hand... Pinecricker New

Returning to campground after a day at a blues festival and just outside the entrance was a checkpoint! Rahark1 New

They made you take a breathalyzer test? Pinecricker New

there's always a choice MikeyBoat New

my worst encounter was with a fire guy... goodBones New

feedback

Wimin folk almost never understand such manly stuff. <NT> Dale New

Unless your guy was a PSO, a combination fire, police, and EMS... Gordo New

One of the most disturbing moments I've had came from that... likes

maybe he'd had a previous bad experience with cars parked in fire lane... goodBones New

Cops are just people. Good, bad and indifferent. I've known many. I've liked and disliked them... Dale New

It could have been a ruse, with you not the target but just collateral damage. Oci-One.Kanubi New
