DEA gives back money it stole from truck driver

Remember a couple months ago when the DEA stole over $20,000 from a truck driver at a weigh station in New Mexico (despite finding no evidence he had drugs)? The DEA informed him he would have to prove the money didn't come from illicit drug sales in order to get the money back, which flies in the face of the idea of innocent until proven guilty.

But the ACLU intervened on the driver's behalf, and now the DEA has been forced to return all the money it stole!

Ha ha, DEA! Ya really got smacked down, didn't ya?!

The truck driver still has a case looming against the New Mexico Police State Police.
