Glad to see this in USA today: cops addicted to drug money

4. Catch money, not drugs

Several years ago, I had a chat with a constable. He explained to me that the law encourages him to heavily patrol southbound traffic and not northbound traffic. If he watches the northbound traffic, he might catch someone with drugs. Nice enough, but if he watches the southbound traffic, he might catch someone with drug money. He gets to use a share of that for his department. Given the need for more funding, what does he do? He focuses on catching the drug money going south rather than the drugs going north.
