PLEASE HELP....

So this just happened less than an hour ago:

My guy sends me my money via USPS and I was expecting it today. I get a knock on the door and there about 5 cops and a USPS worker at my door way. They said their dog smelt drugs in my package and need to open it. They ask my several questions, and i told them there's no drugs in there. i never touch drugs in my life. they opened it, found money, asked me what it was for and i told them the truth. They searched my house and took my money away.

1. Is there anyway i can get that money back?? around 3k

2. Can they legally open that package with out a warrant? i searched online and i found some threads that say they suppose to have a warrant.

Thanks guys..to make it worse..i'm already on a bad run this week..and this just made it worse. horrible day to start the tourney..

i really don't think they can.
definitely look into it.

I don't know if I believe your story, but good luck today

some of these stories on covers um yes officers I needed a loan to pay late bills.. is the correct answer if its not drugs then whats the problem??

lol why would you tell him its for gambling.

If you told them they could open it then they legally can, if you stood your ground and said no you need a warrant they legally had to get a warrant but if you gave permission, your right against unlawful search and seizure gets thrown out the window
