...(T)hey now require more evidence of intent — a suspect trying to hide a wallet or taking cash out of it and throwing it away — before making an arrest...

Myers' daughter, seeing that the driver left the car door open, went over and peered inside to see personal items that included what looked like a bundle of cash — in reality, a dollar bill wrapped around pieces of newspaper. The girl had called her mother over when another set of police officers suddenly pulled up in a van and forced them to the ground, according to Myers' account.

I once found a wallet on the beach near a garbage can -- apparently the thief took the cash and tried to drop it into the can from the boardwalk above, and missed. I took it home and mailed it the next day. If I'd been pulled over, I could have been busted???
