Police in Oklahoma are now able to seize money from motorists even if they don't have physical cash on them – and even if those people are merely suspected of a crime.

Using a new device called an ERAD, or Electronic Recovery and Access to Data machine, Oklahoma Highway Patrol officers can now swipe debit or prepaid cards if they suspect a driver of obtaining money contained in their bank accounts illegally.

Officers say they're instituting new procedures to assess peculiar behavior, and may conduct roadside interrogations to spot motorists who may have to fork over their bank funds.

"We're gonna look for different factors in the way that you're acting," Oklahoma Highway Patrol Lt. John Vincent told Oklahoma News9.com. "We're gonna look for if there's a difference in your story. If there's someway that we can prove that you're falsifying information to us about your business."
