If a trooper suspects you may have money tied to some type of crime, the highway patrol can scan any cards you have and seize the money.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re gonna look for different factors in the way that you&#8217;re acting,\u201d Oklahoma Highway Patrol Lt. John Vincent said. \u201cWe&#8217;re gonna look for if there&#8217;s a difference in your story. If there&#8217;s someway that we can prove that you&#8217;re falsifying information to us about your business.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Troopers insist this isn&#8217;t just about seizing cash.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know that a lot of people are just going to focus on the seizing money. That&#8217;s a very small thing that&#8217; s happening now. The largest part that we have found &#8230; the biggest benefit has been the identity theft,&#8221; Vincent said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you can prove can prove that you have a legitimate reason to have that money it will be given back to you. And we&#8217;ve done that in the past,&#8221; Vincent said about any money seized. <\/p>\n<p>State Sen. Kyle Loveless, R-Oklahoma City, said that removes due process and the belief that a suspect is presumed innocent until proven guilty. He said we&#8217;ve already seen cases in Oklahoma where police are abusing the system. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve seen single mom&#8217;s stuff be taken, a cancer survivor his drugs taken, we saw a Christian band being taken. We&#8217;ve seen innocent people&#8217;s stuff being taken. We&#8217;ve seen where the money goes and how it&#8217;s been misspent,&#8221; Loveless said.<\/p>\n<p>Loveless plans to introduce legislation next session that would require a conviction before any assets could be seized.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I had to err on the side of one side versus the other, I would err on the side of the Constitution,\u201d Loveless said. \u201cAnd I think that&#8217;s what we need to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>News 9 obtained a copy of the contract with the state. <\/p>\n<p>It shows the state is paying ERAD Group Inc., $5,000 for the software and scanners, then 7.7 percent of all the cash the highway patrol seizes.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News9.com &#8211; Oklahoma City, OK &#8211; News, Weather, Video and Sports | OKLAHOMA CITY &#8211; (TV News Report) You may have heard of civil asset forfeiture.
