Am I missing something... or is the story. Is there a crime here?

Apparently it's illegal to have money now in PA. This is one more example of the hard-nose research done by our local media.

That is why Pennsylvanians should move out of state. I'm sure I moved out of the "Peoples Republic of Pennsylvania." Keystone State, Keystone Cops.

If it's cash, you have to have documentation where you got such a big amount. Try going into a bank and depositing 1/10th of that amount and see what happens.

What I read into this is that the money was in one of the cars being transported. How do we even know if the driver knew the money was there. Finers, keepers?

They said it was a "suspicious stop". There must be something that wasn't right.

Exactly K - Why didn't the reporter that wrote the article ask what the "SUSPICION" was?

Maybe they asked and the police didn't tell? They can't play all their cards, some things have to wait till hearings/trials.

Then why didn't the reporter write that the conditions or circumstances surrounding the stop could not be disclosed? Something sounds fishy.
