Police in Vancouver seize a woman’s life savings and because her BF has a “history” it is called drug money.

Police busted into her house to arrest her BF, but she didn’t tell them to “go in there”. Then $75,110 goes missing from a hiding spot in the babies nursery and police claim it to be the proceeds of crime.
Mostly large bills that tested positive for cocaine residue. Let’s be honest though, most bills have all sorts of drug residue on them and from personal experience cocaine users prefer to use a large bills when they can as it’s seen to be “cleaner” and sometimes in drug/street culture as dumb as it sounds, it’s viewed as a status symbol.

In the article it says “VPD arrested her “erratic” boyfriend and in the headline says it was a “domestic dispute”, however the article said that the woman said she did NOT give the police permission to go/force themselves into the house.

It’s a very confusing situation because once you call the police for assistance in a domestic issue they’re obviously going to do something like this, but they searched her house for seven hours afterwards and refused to let her back inside.

There’s no way to prove that money was indeed the proceeds of crime and not in fact her life savings as is claimed…

In my mind the police should give the money back, that’s how the law is supposed to work. They’re each their own Individual person and one if the alleged “drug dealer” isn’t claiming the money, then the money is her’s.

Maybe it is her life savings like she claims?

Maybe she squirreled what she could away for year’s! Just to secure her’s and her children’s future incase anything bad ever happened and she was left to care for them alone.

Could some of the money have came from drugs? Once again that’s their word against hers, it’s not fair to assume that’s how all that money was made.

It seems more and more the police and authorities can do whatever they want to “Protect” the public. $75k isn’t going to be a great threat to the public if it is left “on the streets” (as the police like to call it) even if it was in the hands of dangerous criminals, I doubt that money would result in harming or affecting one innocent civilian or anyone else for that matter.

Let the woman have the money and get on with it. I truly don’t see this as a justified seizure of property and it really makes one worry/wonder…
What’s to stop the authorities from just doing this to anyone, at anytime, and anyplace as a way of making some extra money or just screwing someone over?

I mean nothing other than the trust we put into different agencies and groups within the established world. There’s literally nothing stopping that power from being abused and in reality the police could just claim any stack of cash they come across as “proceeds of crime”. Not to mention there is NO ONE to look into crimes done by police besides, well, other police…

This isn’t even the RCMP, it’s the city police the Vancouver Police Department (VPD)

The whole concept of internal investigation seems proposterous and unrealistic in my mind, always has, always will.

This case seems fishy to me and I’ll be following along to see the results and anymore information that is released to the public.

Even though I doubt there will be anymore.
