I'm honestly not sure you know what point you're trying to make


My point is that the funds were siezed after his cards were scanned. You disagree.

The bigger picture I am trying to paint here is that this will lead to bigger abuses of civil asset forfeiture because now everyone's cards are available to be scanned by law enforcement without a warrant. Depending on the LEO, and how much they feel you should have in your bank account, your funds could be seized based on your justification of how you got your money. If you can't justify how it got there or how much is in there, do you think that will be glossed over by the LEO? It's the exact same scenario as getting pulled over with a lot of cash.

Absolutely nothing in the opinion indicates officers could access balance information.
