Guilty until proven innocent

DEA returns cash to truck driver : Local : Albuquerque Tribune: "The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico says the Drug Enforcement Administration has returned to a truck driver nearly $23,000 seized in August at a weigh station in southern New Mexico. The ACLU had sued the agency on behalf of Anastasio Prieto of El Paso after the DEA told him he would forfeit the money unless he could prove it did not come from illegal drug sales."

For once the good guys won.
