"Operation Rolling Thunder" is great for revenue-generation, an analysis shows.
A surprise annual enforcement blitz in Spartanburg County is largely about stealing cash from harmless motorists, an analysis shows.
“Operation Rolling Thunder” is staged on one weekend per year, and draws in swarms of cops from around the state to participate. The date is held a secret.
Police issued a total of 1,300 traffic citations in just 4 days in October 2013, raking in big money for the county in fines and court costs.
However, fining drivers for burnt-out light bulbs and speeding is is only part of the excitement during the crackdown. The big prize is in summarily seizing cash from drug suspects.

oh no cops don't work for the highest bidder do they? oh no this can't be possible...
And they say they are not here to make money yet here they are making laws to allow them into your cars house and just in your lives to steal money from you...
Oh no cops don't have quotas, now do they? oh of course not... We only get promoted when we bring in revenue or items seized thru fake swat raids...
since when is carrying ANY amount of cash illegal?
