Cops Take Veteran’s Life Savings [Kqoe8Lw83tP]
In this bodycam footage, retired Marine sergeant Stephen Lara is pulled over on a Nevada highway.

Despite Lara having no drugs, no weapons, and being charged with absolutely no crime, the officers bring out a drug-sniffing K9 and seize his $86,900 under a controversial practice known as "civil asset forfeiture." Lara had to fight a major legal battle with the help of the Institute for Justice to get his life savings returned. Subscribe for more updates
