A road trip can be a pretty nice change of view especially for a couple who's expecting a baby in a few more weeks, but for this casino-gambling couple, they are going to remember this one for the rest of their lives, not that it went well but because they were treated as criminals and even had all but $2 of their money seized from them.

Some laws that exist. Because there is a problem with the drug selling, the gift cards etc, they are seizing money whenever they like? What a solution that is. Good thing they got their money back. Media helped on that.

Yes very bad situation here it is in this information in post, i think if this happen to any person then you understand hiw bad sometime law is and police also not work like they must work so there is no situation when police make bad decision and people who not make any problems find to be guilty. Good to read that this time people who not guilty have no problems now

For once in this goddamn life I want to read something positive about the police. Any police. Goddamn highway robbers. Also why would they ask for 10k in cash instead a cashiers check which they could deposit at their local bank. Weird story all around.

Many mistakes happen nowadays and innocent people suffer. Human rights are being violated more and more often. Police should arrest more offenders on the street, not to confiscate illegal the money and cards of a couple who is waiting a child. They could easily check those details and without disturbing.
this is some amazing news .......... the police stopped people and took away all the money ......... easily robbery ............ just robbery .. .......... the main thing is that everything ended well and the money was returned .......... But of course the US laws are very tough .............. if possible stop people and legally take away all of their money

They had receipts on them, justifying the amount of money they had on them. So police didnt act as they should. Quite common with many of them, in each and every country. Maybe a little overzealous you can say?

I don’t buy that this was a law enforcement mistake. It was either a legitimate seizure, based on evidence that was there which hasn’t been fully reported, or the cops have acted well beyond their powers and have inflicted unnecessary suffering and inconvenience to these law abiding citizens who just happen to be in a a bad area with loads of money. If the cops were serious, they should not have left them with $2! They should have seized that too!

When you are winning big in a casino, it is better to take a check. More secure from every aspect. From losing it to get stolen. It would have helped in this situation also, as they couldnt have a better proof, from where the money comes from. I bet next time they wont do the same mistake

It is unfortunate that situation, it is cruel that law, that just go for a certain place they treat you like a criminal just to take the money so people show proof of where the resources come from, but they managed to recover their belongings and as they said they will not return to step on that state
