  • Iowa cops seize $50,000 from couple without charging them with a crime

    A Minnesota couple is suing the Iowa City Police Department to return almost $50,000, arguing police wrongfully seized that cash. Kearnice Overton was driving with his four kids on I-80 when Iowa City police pulled him over for speeding. Police brought a K-9 unit and based on the dog giving a “silent indicator on the vehicle,” police searched Overton’s car. They found $48,000.

          What get's me is the "silent indicator," that's overly convenient for a search.

            No shit. Handlers can easily make their dogs act as if they've found something.
