DRUG SEIZURES SHOULD BE ILLEGAL

Regarding the article "'Coerced' contribution returned" in the Nov.
29 edition: If a person has money in his possession, he is
automatically guilty?

What nonsense. Only because of the mindset of the police, which is,
everyone is guilty until proven innocent. Only the police say that the
dog alerted, and even if it did, which I doubt, dogs can make
mistakes, too.

What is to stop any cop from extorting money from any of
us?

Those cracker cops should be fired and the whole war on drugs
dismantled. Then civil rights might actually mean something.

I thank my lucky stars that I don't live in the formerly free USA but
in the truly free country of Canada, where that kind of thing is not
known.
