Rick Ross arrested with 100k in cash

[IllmaticDelta]

Ross is the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now.

 

[↓R↑LYB]

fcuk this guy and anyone affiliated/idolizing/glorifying him. He had a strong hand in destroying the black community

Ehh, not really. He was essentially a pawn. You want to get angry, point your finger squarely at your government because they were the ones allowing tons of cocaine to get Imported into black neighborhoods.

 

[unit321]

...A law enforcement official told the Los Angeles Times that Ross was carrying more than $100,000...

Dealers are walking ATMs.

He and I have had our own issues here in this very IG(go back in the posts) but I hope he prevails in this regard. The government has the deck stacked against him because he knows the truth about their wicked ways. They have made it difficult for him and others of his ilk to return to their once grand exalted status, legally. How do you go from being an "Emperor" to now a "commoner" and not feel some type of way? This would be difficult for anyone in any walk of life. There are no more "Bosses" in Los Angeles that can provide the type of leadership and/or opportunities to where you can still have your "royal" name/status intact and still work at keeping it up while being under someone else's leadership. Suge was THE LAST to be able to provide this opportunity. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube will NEVER ruffle corporate feathers and aren't willing to take a chance at this because ______ and ______ wouldn't allow them to do so. Big U doesn't have that "industry" yet to provide this service and his right hand, T.I., doesn't have the cache in L.A. to call shots without him. In this particular case, Ross was only caught with $100k but yet the U.S. government has yet to have a conversation with actor Don Johnson when he was caught with $8 BILLION DOLLARS in the trunk of his car at the border of Switzerland and Germany in which he proclaimed was for movie "financing"(YEAH RIGHT!!). Alas, Ross nor any other African American former Boss, do possess the "complexion for the protection" as let's say a person of Hispanic decent. So there in lies the quandary of how do you get back to your "royal birthright" by adhering to the rules? I wish I knew...

==============================
I looked the Don Johnson story up, thought for sure he mistyped billion. But, damn, he really did get caught with 8 Billion in the trunk. Guesses on names? I'm thinking one is Jimmy Iovine.


Also, check out this vid on civil forfeiture, you can see how shytty it is.

obviously you didn't cause he didn't get caught with a single dollar

The seeds of trouble for Johnson were sitting in the trunk of the car. When officials searched it, they discovered a briefcase with over $8 billion in receipts, certificates, and credit notes. It seemed a bit odd. Johnson explained that the paperwork was from investors he was in the process of collaborating with for his film production company.

do you need read shyt or simply skim through it

I hear you and get that it sucks and an inconvenience but is it that big a deal if it is legal money? Imean all you have to do is show proof.

Idiot. :belipup:

 

[King Jae]

Naw he legit... my man was signed to his record label... all his money is legal nowadays.. believe me.... he's not a dummy.... he took my man to talk to an investor with a 2.5 million condo on south beach.....as far as the snitchin thing goes he would have been a dead man....my man has traveled around the country with him and all the big dogs still give him his respect and he is still connected...that wouldn't be the case if the snitching thing was as scandalous as rapper ross makes it out to be....he tried to squash the beef with Ross off of a convo with my man.... he a chill dude....you wouldn't even think he was in that life if it wasn't documented...

What are you talking about? He didnt have a dollar no (as in a shytload of $100s).
But he had bonds and shyt worth 8 billion dollars.

For Actor Don Johnson, $8 Billion Worth of Bad Publicity in Germany

Here's a mystery for Nash Bridges: What was actor Don Johnson doing in a car in Germany last November with a suitcase containing credit notes and other securities that customs officials said were worth $8 billion?

Don Johnson Caught With £5 Billion In Suitcase

The actor was stopped leaving Switzerland carrying a suitcase filled with more than £5bn-worth of share certificates, cheques, credit notes, and bonds.

What the hell you bytching about?

Even the quote you used said he had 8B

nikka you know damn well that's not the same type of scenario as FREEWAY RICK ROSS situation. Stop moving the goal posts. Once again he didn't get caught with ONE dollar. You can't confiscate receipts.

‘Freeway’ Rick Ross blasts Highway 101 arrest as racial profiling

Charges of possessing drug money against “Freeway” Rick Ross, the notorious former crack cocaine kingpin, were tossed by a judge Monday, just days after he was collared driving on Highway 101 in Sonoma County with $100,000 cash — an arrest he claimed was the result of racial profiling.

Ross, 55, now an author and motivational speaker after spending nearly 17 years in prison for his role in the drug trade, said he was driving south on Highway 101 near Windsor on Thursday in a group of 20 to 30 other cars when he spotted a Sonoma County Sheriff’s vehicle on the side of the road.

“I looked at him, he looked at me and then he just started following me for probably about two miles,” Ross said Monday.

Ross went to exit the freeway, he said, and the deputy turned on his sirens. The officer then asked Ross to get out of the car, but he said no and handed over his license and registration.

After a minute or two of conversation, the officer asked to search the vehicle and, again, Ross denied the request.

“He said ‘You sound like a guilty person,’ and told me he was going to search it anyway,” Ross said. “He asked me if I had any drugs and I said no. Then he asked me if I had any money and I told him it was none of his business.”

The deputy, who told Ross he was pulled over for an erratic lane change, then lead a drug-sniffing dog around the vehicle and told Ross that the dog smelled marijuana and he had probable cause to search the car.

“I’ve had drugs planted on me by cops before, but I’ve never had the smell of drugs planted on me,” Ross said.

In the course of the search, the deputy turned up no drugs, but did find roughly $100,000 in cash that Ross said he was using to negotiate the purchase of some property near Fortuna (Humboldt County). All the money was made legitimately, Ross said, through speaking engagements and book sales.


“I make pretty good money these days and I’m a good saver,” he said.

Officials were suspicious, however, and Ross was arrested “on suspicion of possessing money related to the sale of a controlled substance,” though the former drug dealer pointed out that probable cause for the search was based on the scent of marijuana, for which he has a valid prescription.

The charges against him were dismissed in a Sonoma County courtroom Monday morning, he said.

“I knew from the beginning that the charges against me were trumped up,” he said. “But it’s crazy to me that people are still getting pulled over in this day and age and in this political climate just for being black. I was one of a bunch of cars on that freeway. We were all going the same speed doing the same thing, but I’m the one that gets pulled over.”

The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately return requests for comment.

Its not even in the same country, so again, why you bytching?

You know damn well you thought DJ got caught with this in the car

Just gonna assume you trolling. Never did I say I htought it was cash. Also you focusin on 1 sentence in that entire post.

 

[Young/Nacho\Drawz]

I don't believe he is involved in drugs for one second. Ross will forever be a throne in Uncle Sam's side because of his story. That movie he was suppose to be doing would have waken up an entire generation. They don't want that to happen and they don't want to face the music from the public who wants answers and reparations for their war crimes. They always hate when they lose and they start playing dirty to compensate for it. Ross beat them, got out of prison and exposed them.

Sometimes I wonder if the rapper Rick Ross was put in position to divert attention away from the real Rick Ross.

If you never checked out this interview, make sometime and do so.

fcuk this guy and anyone affiliated/idolizing/glorifying him. He had a strong hand in destroying the black community

My views exactly.

Yet folks would rather be outraged over a rapper that provides the black community with beautiful music to enjoy.
