Hmm, clicked on the original article which cites another case in Nevada of a guy who had 2,400 taken (he was white) and that article had two other examples.. A restaurant owner that had 17,400 taken (he was white) and another gentlemen that had 50,000 taken he had won at a slot machine (he was asian).

The cop that took the 2,400 offered to drop the entire thing if the driver forfeited the money.. It took him three years to get the money back. The guy that had 50,000 taken (by the same cop that took the 2,400) sued and was paid an extra 10,000.

I did not see any race that was spared - though I did not find any women in my ten minutes of lackadaisical searching - so if you are going to smuggle money have your girlfriend do it.

This was the same rule when carrying a gun or weapon in NYC. Since they never search women, just give it to your lady. No worries.

One correction on the restaurant owner.. NOT white.. He did get all his money back plus an additional 11,000 dollars. He was pulled over because he had a video going in his car (not allowed when in motion) and the officer did not like the look of the tinted windows. They became suspicious when his girlfriend did not know where they were going (a surprise date) and the officer claimed a dog indicated drugs. They ended up finding .01 grams of weed in a DVD bag.

There are a bunch of stories in the Washington post article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/investigative/2014/09/08/they-fought-the-law-who-won/

Very interesting reading, thanks to the OP for putting it up.

Dash cam video of the guy that had 50,000 taken:

The cop also offers to let him walk away from the money (and threatens to tow the car away if he does not) and also tells him if he tries to get it back he will lose it in attorney fees.

Truth, but there lies another problem. There's another belief that if you don't consent then you must be hiding something. This is why it's kind of a conundrum. Unless you're well versed with the law and have a butt ton of credible witnesses(read white) and have video proof there's no way I would even attempt to do this.

The below comes from notes that I took when I consulted with a lawyer some time ago:

LEOs rely on the public's overwhelming desire to have the confrontation end. Most people will, in the hope of speeding up a LEO's going away, divulge, consent, placate, etc. -- ANYTHING to make him go away. It might sometimes work, but you might instead further confirm the LEO's suspicions, or even give him probable cause to arrest you.

LEO [taunting]: Why not let me search if you're innocent and have nothing to hide?

A good reply: Well, if you thought I were innocent, you wouldn't be interested in me.

LEO [menacingly]: Well, I can get a warrant!

Good reply: I doubt it. Warrants are based on probable cause, and because I haven't done anything wrong, there can be no probable cause of any crime. Good day, Officer.

Shut the door on it. With the limited exception of "stop & identify" laws, you have the utter right to ignore him and walk away. If you disengage, there's nothing that he can do without the required "reasonable articulable suspicion" for detention or "probable cause" for arrest. However, he can walk along with you in public and observe. He does have the power during ANY confrontation with you to frisk you for weapons under the "Terry frisk," IF he has reasonable belief of a threat to himself or the public on the basis of articulable facts.

I've used this one:

"I don't have time to talk right now. Good day." And I walked away as though he were a street panhandler. There was nothing that he could do. Had I ended up with a flashlight colliding with my skull, he and his department would later have been complete toast.
