Living in the NY, thus the U.S, believe me I know that cops do a little dippin even on legal searches. And I even stated that in my original post.

Of all the analogies used on this site, airlinesmustpay, your's just happen to be the worst. if the occupants of an illegal search realizes that money under a matress went missing, they'd have to prove the money wasn't hidden there because of something illegal i.e. drugs and/or a robbery. (police have been known to rob from drug dealers, etc)

So do I believe that police steal from drug busts, searches, etc? Oh definitely yes. My point is, going back to your original analogy, if the accuser steps forth and says "hey when those officers searched my house, they stole thousands of dollars" how can they prove their case, if the cops say they didn't do it? The burden of proof falls on the person making the accusation. You NEED proof before you can make any accusation or our legal system would be flooded with cases of people suing anybody simply because they can (And the U.S. is sue happy enough). Again looking at your analogy, we have an illegal search and money missing. If the, now victims, of the crime accuse the cops of taking it and the cops deny it, well then its a back and forth battle because there would be no proof other than the accusers word that the money was there.

and now to my surprise, I see someone from New York saying that people have to prove that something is not illegal.

I don't know where you got that, I don't even know what you're talking about at this point because it has nothing to do with my original statement. please clarify.

I have seen this happen. People who last enter a crowded flight, find the overhead bins full. They look for space and sometimes go several seats away to find a space in an overhead bin. Before take off the FAs close all the doors on the bins. Sometimes a bag is protruding and the door cant close.

That was my point originally, but in the case of the OP her bag was placed by the FA in the overhead a few rows away from her seat (her words), so it must have fit properly enough that it satisfied the FA to be there. But i don't see a gate agent coming on board and removing her bag from the overhead, moving it to the lower area and no one told the OP until AFTER they started take off. If they can find her during take off, why couldn't they find her before hand?
