I can understand the Marijuana plants, equipment used to facilitate the growing of the plants, 9 firearms and $4,000 cash being seized, but the 4 vehicles, and the 21’ Triton fishing boat? What reason did they have for seizing them?

Do you think those shiny new Dodge Chargers pay for themselves?

Law enforcement agencies are nothing but for profit businesses that employ thugs with badges.

Often wondered when the cash is reported in those drug busts.
If the entire amount is accounted for,or what remains after the raiders get their cut?

Want to hear one more funny thing,if this was in New York State.
