I drove 9 hours back from NC to South FL today (okay, it's an 11 hour drive). I was stopped twice...SC and FL. Good guys in both cases...one warning and one ticket; both gave me a break; both were gentlemen.
But here's the issue. Both cops asked if I was carrying any large sums of money (among other questions). This struck me as strange...naturally I said, "Nope, just waht's in my pocket"....course what's in my pocket on a road trip might be considered \"large" by them; I'm not sure.
Now I'm not looking for a "flame the law" thread here....I hadn't shaved in 3 days; was wearing a heavy leather Harley jacket and driving a semi-expensive sports car registered to a Florida corp. But I'm wondering if this is becoming a standard question in highway stops when there's a bit of suspicion?
