After years of being a law-abiding business, the government suddenly decides to seize your bank account. Sadly, this is what happened to Carole Hinders' restaurant when the federal government seized her bank account worth $33,000. Now, she's filing a lawsuit in federal court.

Civil forfeiture, IJ says, is a procedure that allows the federal government to seize property based on the suspicion of a crime. According to the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970, financial institutions are required by law to report any transactions made exceeding $10,000 or any transactions that might be a result of criminal activity.

Did you take this from the OT circa 3 days ago?

This article is from yesterday so I guess it's not fresh enough for you?

1. For a long te I've believed these seizure laws to be ridiculous. The U.S. goverent should not be able to deprive persons of property without due process.
2. If we dont have a choice and have to keep them, they ought to be adjusted for inflation. $10,000 in the early 70s is different than that amount today.

And some people, Jeauxbleaux and the like, think more government is the answer to all our problems.

Guilty until proven innocent.

No, not Obama, but it was passed by both houses of Congress that were at the time controlled by Democrats.
Richard Nixon did sign it, but Dems were responsible for it.

I need someone smarter than I to explain to me how civil forfeiture is constitutional when the 5th Amendment unambiguously says that the federal government cannot deprive a citizen of property without due process and the 14th amendment says the states cannot deprive a citizen of property without due process.

Cash only restaurant. Deposits just under 10k and the owner even admits she was intentionally keeping the deposits under 10k to prevent reporting.
Suckas!

So, you're saying that this is illegal?

This is another thing the federal government should not be allowed to do without due process.

Yep.
There's only two reasons people run cash-only restaurants these days - 1) to avoid paying taxes on legal income 2) as a front operation to launder illegal income.

The mandatory reporting for $10k+ cash deposits is from the Patriot Act.
Bush's fault.

Are you sure?
I seem to remember Ollie North testifying about deposits that were denominated in 9's.

there are different laws that all come back to that 10k limit. i think initially it was part of legislation targeting organized crime (laundering)
this isn't a DEM or a REP issue. this is a government issue. anyone who supports these laws hates freedom and believes in a police state.
