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


Just going off actual facts

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.

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

And if technology were to come about that allowed LEO to access balance information by swiping the same card? Wouldn't this ruling give them a nice legal leg to stand on?
