I was reading the court findings.

Ugly ..

The majority of the Michigan court decided to ignore the exclusionary law. They seemed to seek and use any available loophole.

Consider .. If you had read the story and the money was not mentioned, would you have thought this woman was a mule?

Almost everyone would have thought not.

Instead, the money was the main evidence.

Also .. they used "good faith" logic to include it into consideration.

A good faith example could be where the officer has a warrant. Then later it is discovered that the warrant was issued improperly. It is not the officers fault that the warrant is bad. Therefore the officer had acted in "good faith."

Here the officer acted in bad faith. He should have known that it was an improper search. If he didn't, he needs to get a new job and not be allowed to interact with the public again.

Over and over again, the judges referred to "good faith" as a reason to consider forfeiture of the money.

The court record says that the prosecution had proven that the woman was a mule.

That proof consisted of records that she rented cars several times.

Our state is running out of money to pay for state police. Every one needs to be very very careful, as the state police have found new ways to pay for themselves.
