Carrying cash is not a crime.


I hate civil asset forfeiture as much as the next guy, mostly out of principle, but my anecdotal evidence seems to validate the suspicions in the majority of these cases.

Again, I don't like the law, but if you've got $10k in cash on you and you cannot validate the source of those funds, there is in incredibly high likelihood it is from illegal sources.

I didn't read anything in either article saying they couldn't account for the money. My hunch is that the popo saw the cash and thought it was easy dough.

So when I leave for Florida Sunday morning to buy a boat I need proof my cash didn't come from selling dope?

Are there any other aspects of peoples life you would like to control in the name of justice?

Oh frick that, validating whether it was gotten through illicit means is the job of the police.

Mandating someone carrying around high amounts of cash to prove it isn't drug money is very much assuming guilt and making the perp prove their innocence- this goes against every aspect of how our justice system is supposed to operate.

Not easy to do. If you saved a little cash in your home safe that accumulated over years into $12,000 how would you prove its not drug money? You take the cash out the house to go buy whatever(car, boat, mower, etc) and stopped by police and they find that cash, you are shite out of luck.
