I think The_Jazz seems to be personally offended by (and only by) the topic making police officers look bad or something. Which leads me to assume (I don't really know many people on this forum) that he's got some sort of real life role in a police related field.
In that case you're dealing with some sort of bias in which civillian rationale simply doesn't have a sharp enough edge to cut through.
look, it's simple, civillians are not all crooks, there are many truck drivers who worked to get thier CDL, are on the road a lot and aren't really all that trusting of banking institutions since they are always on the move. Having what equates to 2 YEARS of (my shoddy) income in your truck IS a bit out of the norm, but any reasonable cop knows that you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there was a crime committed, and honestly, if you can't prove it, you've got no business touching that money, as much as you think you deserve it for being in law enforcement. Civillians don't owe you anything, you took the oath to protect and serve, not to harrass people who are slightly outside of your normal "profile"
