Federal Appeals Court: Driving With Money is a Crime
Eighth Circuit Appeals Court ruling says police may seize cash from  
motorists even in the absence of any evidence that a crime has been  
committed.

US Court of Appeals, Eighth CircuitA federal appeals court ruled  
yesterday that if a motorist is carrying large sums of money, it is  
automatically subject to confiscation. In the case entitled, "United  
States of America v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency," the U.S. Court of  
Appeals for the Eighth Circuit took that amount of cash away from  
Emiliano Gomez Gonzolez, a man with a "lack of significant criminal  
history" neither accused nor convicted of any crime.
