Wow alaska does not play. Like Singapore, bringing drugs into the country results in death. 

I’ve been to Singapore twice for a total of 3 weeks. You can get anything you want in the alleys of Geylang.

Seems consistent with typical civil forfeiture over the last forty years or so.   i.e., bad.

 

But a $95,000 forfeiture on a $6 purchase??? Seems a little whacked to me.

Many civil forfeiture cases were seizing cash merely because somebody possessed it.    The assumption seemed to be nobody would carry more than $10k in cash unless it a criminal activity.  My understanding is that in this case there were multiple cases of beer but the pilot said he was only aware of the six pack.   There's still a lot of momentum from those old "zero tolerance" policies.

What is interesting to me is he never smuggled the beer.  They were watching for planes smuggling booze in Fairbanks which is where they executed the search warrant.  I can’t determine how they got the warrant.  In any case putting on cases of beer with maybe the intent to fly them to a dry county isn’t a crime.  
 
Whole thing seems fishy but can’t determine more on the internet but there has to be more.
