Drug Money Doesn't Glitter...

... but stripper money does.

After a traffic stop in Miami/Dade, a questionable search discovered guns, bottles of cough syrup, marijuana oil and $20,000 in cash in a young lady's purse.

The young lady is a stripper and argued in court the money was from tips, not drug sales as the police contend. She argued the glitter on the money proved it was from the strip club. Judge agreed with the lady so the money goes back to her.

However, the Miami-Dade Police Department’s legal bureau seized the money believing it was drug money and asked a civil court judge to allow the department to keep the cash. Police said Roxie, the department’s dog, alerted officers that the cash “had been in close proximity to large amounts of narcotics.”

However, Haley Heath, Batista’s co-worker, said at the hearing that her friend earned “significant cash tips” at the club.

“I felt that the glitter on the seized cash was compelling evidence, but apparently the police department disagreed," Faccidomo said.

Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Rodney Smith agreed “there was no probable cause for the seizure” and ordered the cash be given back to the couple.

Well, I'm definitely going to sprinkle glitter on all my cash, just in case.
