Never Trust the Police

ALBANY, N.Y. - The FBI is laying low this Friday in Kansas, after paying $2 million to a military man wrongly accused of being involved in the 2004 Madrid Train Bombings.

Here's the lesson one Kansas.com reader - "kansas rural farmer" - takes from the affair:

"I have lost all respect for police. If you carry around $1,000 in cash, say for Xmas shopping, and you get stopped for a routine traffic violation in the "big city" of Wichita, cops will "ask" permission to search your vehicle because you're a "suspected" drug dealer for carrying that amount in cash. I like to pay cash for items. I grew up in rural Kansas and many farmers in rural Kansas like myself don't trust authorities or banks"

To which an anonymous replier adds:

"to kansas rural farmer:

i totally agree with you!"
