[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 2249905, member: 100"] Ultimately, one of the main problems is offering a percentage of the take to the contractors. It motivates them to produce results, which is a good thing in general, BUT it motivates the contractors to use whatever means available to make successful drug/ money seizures. Whether by sheer volume of traffic stops, surveillance on roads or gas stations, intimidation of the vehicle occupants or whatever. To insure impartiality, they should have had a flat rate fee arrangement AND taken defensible measures to ensure that their actions were honest, legal and in the best public interest. Seems like "probable cause" has been stretched a little bit. And remember, this is Caddo County. Weird stuff goes on there. [/QUOTE]
