A new documentary, "When Cops Become Robbers," shows how police take money from people they never charge with a crime.

Then, the people need to prove their innocence to get it back.

One victim of these laws was Virginia restaurant owner Mandrel Stuart.

When police pulled him over, he expected a routine traffic stop.

Instead, when officers found $18,000 in his truck – money Stuart planned to use to buy kitchen equipment, the police called it drug money and kept it!

No evidence. No charges… Just $18,000 gone.

Our new video tells his story, and others like it, and how some states are changing their laws.
