“Authorities in a Texas county where a drug enforcement program was allegedly used to shake down black and Latino highway travelers are returning more than $100,000 taken during the traffic stops.  The stops in Tenaha, which often resulted in people being forced to hand over cash without any charges being filed, have led to multiple lawsuits and two federal criminal investigations.  Barry Washington, a former Texas state trooper, testified in his deposition that he believed all the stops were legitimate and that God had directed him to disrupt drug trafficking on U.S. Highway 59.”
