OHP Uses New Device To Seize Money During Traffic Stops

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has a device that also allows them to seize money on prepaid cards.

If a trooper suspects a person may have money tied to some type of crime, the highway patrol can scan and seize money from prepaid cards. OHP stresses troopers do not do this during all traffic stops, only situations where they believe there is probable cause.

"If you can prove can prove that you have a legitimate reason to have that money it will be given back to you. And we've done that in the past," Vincent said about any money seized.
