Cali man has $29k siezed in Chicago airport without charges

A Yuba City man says law enforcement confiscated his money but he didn’t commit a crime. Now he’s fighting to get back tens of thousands of dollars.
Yuba City resident Josh Gingerich buys and flips trucks. A recent buying trip to do that cost him a bag of cash which was seized by a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) drug interdiction task force at O’Hare Airport.
“A little over 29 grand,” the amount taken said Gingerich who was not arrested and did not break any laws. “No marijuana, no drugs.”
quote:
Gingerich said he was set up by the officers who he says claimed to smell marijuana on a plastic bag filled with dirty laundry in his backpack. He said officers dumped the clothes, filled the bag with cash, then brought it to the drug dog.
“They can just do what they want,” said Gingerich.
Within the United States, it is legal to carry cash, says Benjamin Ruddell of the ACLU.
“There’s no prohibition on carrying cash, or carrying a large amount of cash,” said Ruddell who points out what they believe is flawed with the DEA Civil Asset Forfeiture Program.
quote:
“If the purpose of this is to disrupt illegal drug activity…we’d see some of these people be arrested,” said Ruddell.
Last March, the U.S. Justice Department Inspector General released a report saying from 2007–2016, the DEA seized $3.2 billion with zero convictions tied to this money.

CAF is BS but if you are going to carry over 10k you might want to have proof of where that cash came from.

I’m sure he was up to something.

Every politician who is in favor of no-crime civil asset forfeiture should be in front of illegals in the deportation line.

It wouldn't matter in this case. You could have a bank receipt, but if the dog tips it off, they're seizing it. It's ridiculous.

I think the basic question is why does simply carrying cash imply required suspicion?
No one stopping random people on the road (yet) when they have a nice car or expensive jewelry and demanding explanations.

Other than filing a lawsuit, what recourse can an individual have to getting his money back?

I get it, I agree. It's bullshite.
It's just how it is though. Those PD's want their grubby paws on it and you might want to have proof of where it came from.

Nothing. Your property has far fewer rights than you do. Chief among them is the lack of right to counsel, habeas corpus, and presumption of guilt. Your property is presumed guilty and you have to prove your that it is innocent, or else you lose it- all the while paying an attorney to get it back- its the ultimate racket.

Thank God they cleared that up.

Cross state lines with more than $9k and you kinda deserve your headache

If a person is carrying more cash than will fit in a wallet it is subject to confiscation by the authorities. Welcome to Amerika.

As with most beaucracy, there should be common sense logic.
But CAF as it currently stands is just a blanket objective.
There's an obvious difference in using CAF against a known drug trafficker, criminal entity, etc etc..and some dude flying to do business.
