Literally. The government's war on drugs and its war on your hard-earned cash converge:
A man arrested for an indoor marijuana growing operation after a county worker smelled the illegal plant on a tax payment has been sentenced to 16 months in prison. ... The investigation started when a Benton County tax clerk noticed that the $600 in cash that Michaelis used to pay his taxes smelled like marijuana.
[hat tip: Fark]


Shouldn't they also investigate the clerk based upon his familiarity with the smell?

I wonder how many innocent people have been investigated before they hit pay dirt?
