I have a friend who had this done to him. He is a horse dealer. Was pulled over with a pickup pulling a trailer full of horses and $100k. The placard on the side said "Horse Trader."
They took all his money.
It took a lawyer a year to get it back. The lawyer "earned" more than half of it.
Don't forget the lawyers. None of the drama would be possible without their fine acting skills.

Was your friend not able to sue for attorney fees?

The middle class and poor are targeted because there is little risk of blowback.
Think about what I am going to ask you, look back through your memory. When have you ever seen a new expensive very high line luxury car pulled over? Personally I never have.

I have to believe that LEOs are not there primarily for protection and assistance, but revenue collection. They are, for the most part predators, not protectors. Their job seems to be make reports after the fact, issue tickets, and bust who ever they can for traffic violations.
Everyone is a potential criminal these days and if they aren't, then it is easy enough to make it seem that way and the burden of proof is on the suspect that has been set up to get run through the system for profit. Even if you hire a lawyer and get off the charges, you have already contributed to the system.
