Indiana police have dogs that sniff specifically for cash at the US’s 2nd biggest FedEx hub, then they simply keep the money (eu.indystar.com)

(edit) Would someone please ship some counterfeit money through there and get it confiscated, so the police can then be investigated for spending counterfeit money?

Its a full on problem with the businesses though. Not just semi justifiable confiscations. But how about when.... https://youtu.be/yKB7zqoLe5M

The police work for UPS/Fedex/DHL? News to me. I think you are confusing civil asset forfeiture to corporate corruption (not saying that they are not both bad and happening).

Missed it. At no times are cops involved in these examples. Ups and FedEx as private entities have no.... As in none unless you can successfully sue them. Have any liability or due to getting you your stuff or care what happens in the mean time. The USPS is culpable to the point of absolutely any government entity. Hands tied by law if you want to inspect any non-opened package you need a court order. My examples btw are of 1 individual dealing with ups in this case losing his stuff only for him to find it not only in the hands of ups... Who kept throwing their hands up about any involvement in the process of what rob then had to deal with trying to retrieve his lost "1 of 1" custom parts.

More to the point they aren't culpable or bound by literally any law so letting police just run rampent over all of their facilities is completely legal for fed ex/ups/ dhl....
