    Mistrust is a better word. I got screwed over by a cop and State Attorney years ago. Then I majored in Criminal Justice with a criminal law class. Man oh man, those cops took advantage of my lack of knowledge!! It will never happen again!! (BTW - they were both fired eventually so I guess they tried to screw too many people.

    Until they claimed the "racial profiling" by the DEA officers. NOT TRUE. The first log they show in the report with predominately BM and only 2 WM, was specifically selected and shorten in length to claim Black discrimination by the Agents. They reveal their dishonesty in the same video when the video reaches 18:19, they show a complete 30-day log of money seizures taken by the agents dates 9/30 to 10/30. And although they "purposely" scrolled it down on screen significantly fast, so the viewer wouldn't catch the alleged racial profiling reported, I paused the video and I counted. I tallied the entire log (not the one they selected) and this was the outcome of 30 days: BM(F): 25, WM(F): 29, HSPM(F): 9, ASM(F): 6. Money Seizures from a White 29, a Black 25, this is in Atlanta, Georgia Airport!!! When they report a lie, the "real" in journalism cant be. They push this ("propaganda" sadly) to the public for us to believe we are still a racist country. That is wrong, divisive, unethical, and self discrediting. Its propaganda and activism reporting. Yet, Other than that, I agree. The rest was EXCELLENT. 👍👍

    Sadly, this has been going on for many yrs, and by highway patrol in certain states, especially in certain areas. They claim it's the proceeds of ill-gotten gains, most times, without even stating what crime that guessing game came from. They might counter "well you didn't pay the IRS, Or taxes on it, that's a crime. It becomes a civil matter. In Civil court the burden of proof of innocence, unfortunately, is always put on you. You are never innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Not in civil court. In these thefts there's always a reasonable doubt almost always.

    This past August I was flying out of Las Vegas and had $7500 in cash that I had won playing black Jack. I quietly told the TSA agent that I had it in an envelope in my front pocket. This idiot told my to put it through the scanner, I refused so he told me to take it out of the envelope hold it in my hand above my head and walk through the scanner. I'm 61 years old and was very nervous while waiting for the plane and the entire fl8ght home TSA made me a target. Fortunately, nothing happened but this agency like most federal alphabets need to be abolished or majorly overhauled.

It's a little sick twisted game being played at the expense of those trying to reach higher states of existence out of that muck, while they keep trying to drag you back into it.
