Watch Cops Seize Combat Vet's Life Savings [RARE FOOTAGE]

Stephen Lara did everything right. But, as subscribers of our KZread channel know well, even innocent people aren’t safe from civil forfeiture.
Stephen is a 39-year-old retired Marine from Lubbock, Texas. He is a devoted father of two teenage daughters and, once a month, he drives from Texas to see them in California, where they live with their mother. Eager to be closer after spending the pandemic in Texas caring for his elderly parents, he has been shopping for a home near the California-Nevada border.
ij.org/case/nevada-civil-forf...
In February 2021, Stephen was making his usual trip west through Reno when he was pulled over by the Nevada Highway Patrol for supposedly following a tractor-trailer too closely.
The officer complimented Stephen’s driving, thanked him for observing the speed limit, and explained that NHP was “conducting a public information campaign” to help drivers avoid danger. Confident that the officer was only there to help, Stephen cooperated with his escalating investigation, even volunteering that he was carrying a large amount of cash.
Ninety minutes later, Stephen had been robbed of his life savings-$86,900-which he carried with him after a spate of robberies in his parents’ neighborhood. The officer who pulled Stephen over wanted to let him go; he was overruled by NHP Sergeant Glenn Rigdon, who ordered the money seized specifically so that it could be “adopted” by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
“Adoption” is a process by which federal law enforcement agencies can take over a seizure by state and local law enforcement. If the federal government is successful in forfeiting the property, its “equitable sharing” program guarantees the state or local agency that seized the property up to 80% of the proceeds for use in the agency’s budget.
In Stephen’s case, the DEA sat on his life savings for months, ignoring the legal deadlines requiring it to charge Stephen with a crime, begin a civil forfeiture case against his property, or return the money within six months of seizure. The DEA did none of those things. So, on August 30, IJ sued it in federal court on Stephen’s behalf.
Early the morning of September 1, the agency announced it would return all of Stephen’s money. In less than 24 hours, it had learned of our lawsuit, answered hard questions from The Washington Post, and committed to reviewing its policies for federal adoptions.
When we learned he would be getting his money back (filled with joy), he told us, “This isn’t over.”
And it isn’t. At the same time we filed in federal court, we also filed a major constitutional challenge in state court. Our state case aims to make federal adoptions impossible in Nevada as violations of the state constitution’s guarantees of reasonable seizures supported by probable cause and due process of law-not based on mere suspicion or for the financial benefit of the seizing agency. If we are successful, it will be the first time a state court has struck down federal adoptions. And a victory will take the profit motive out of roadside seizures.

    Reagan is one of my faceprez but this ain't exactly his subject of strength. Fear mongering politicians of the Reagan and Clinton administrations pushed,passed, illegal laws that gave police unconstitutional power and protection. Targeted blacks for.mass imprisonment for profit within a system.that saw waccenhut and other human rights criminals receive billions in tax revenue to build prisons . They would then "contribute" tens of millions back into the hands of politicians of bothparties. Included in this group are curret civil rights heros Joe Biden, these politicians then used the media to instill fear of blacks within even the black community, while writing laws tha did things like make Crack punishment several times worse than cocaine because it was wrong assumed Crack was a black drug and powder a white. This despite a simple fact that Crack could never exist without the powder,laws that illegaly mandated from the legislative and executive branches that judges hand mandatory sentences to certain offenders. An unconstitutional violation of law and of a sacred founding principal of out nation that the three branches must and will operate separately of each other's influence. The consequence of these laws that even police who were there acknowledge represented a change from a doctrine of protect and serve to a federally funded pushed and protected system that I have seek cops who were also soldiers ssay was the same system the army used in occupied countries. These laws gave white supremacists and civil rights opponents validation and today are the source of much of the rightful distrust and fear of the law that leads to the wrongful killings of many officers even today. Millions of blacks Hispanics Asians were systematically targeted, evidence exists that at least tens of thousands were framed or wrongfully arrested and imprisoned at least once. In high corruption zones like California that had also passed illegal three strikes laws, that meant for many who were framed once, and some were more than once, could see 25 to life for a small rock. Or being accused of some crime they didn't commit because they were black and in the wrong place. Many don't realize the tipping point for the wealthy politicians was the Boston tea party but the biggest injustice in the minds of many revutionaries who actually fought was the interning of Americans into Britain's military and the lack of protection for the accused. Many founding fathers considered these the most sacred protections of the constitution and that failure to protect them would be the greatest threat to democracy by making the law a tool of oppression.

They have too much power and their training and reinforced behavior and morality makes it really difficult for the good cops to stay good rather than fall in line. It need way more oversight and transparency. And making arrests and putting people in jail is way too incentivised. Not only the guilty need be worried obviously.

    Definitely never consent to a search. You surrender your rights by giving them permission. They wouldn't need your permission if they had actual, legal, and demonstrable cause. Absent cause, they have to resort to asking you if they can. You never have anything to gain. They won't buy you a beer after because you were so cooperative. Even at the best case scenario you are flipping a coin on being arrested for something at that point. And if they want to search your car so badly despite having zero legal justification, they basically don't like you and are looking for any excuse to arrest you.

    The banks are much more trustworthy than the police. The banks are responsible to their customers, to their shareholders, and to the laws. These cops can violate the laws and get away with it because they are corrupt, their colleges are corrupt, the departments and courts wont find them guilty, and in many cases (like here) the laws actually allow them to outright steel from you with no consequences. The police can lie all they want. The CEO of a bank cant lie or else he will either break SEC laws or get fired for violating company policies and tanking stock values. So, yeah, he should have had his money in the bank and had a credit card to get by with, and not trusted the cops and allowed them to search his car. I hope this guy the best, but he makes bad life choices.

    It doesn’t tell me all I need to know… I don’t doubt he COULD be excited for seizing money to fund his department, although I’m not sure what that gets him personally.. I’m more inclined to believe he actually thought it could be drug money, and he’s excited to get illegally obtained money off the street. Yes he had the withdrawal receipts.. but what’s stopping him from spending the money he withdraws and then only getting paid/carrying just a few thousand under the total of the withdrawals as to not arise suspicion? He could drive a certain route all the time and carry 87k every day and it could be a different 87k every single day..

    lots of gangs send their members through the military, its not only free training, its training they get paid for, then they leave the army and have high profile job in the criminal organisation Edit: Such as smuggling large quantities of clean cash after laundering

    I'm sure they are trained to seize as much money as possible because it directly benefits their department financially. So they WERE doing their job, it's just that their job is to be criminals. He also should never have agreed to a search. Never agree to anything with the cops. If you agree to what they ask of you, you're giving up your rights and the cops dont give a shit about you. They are not your friends, they are not trying to help you.
