re: TX newspaper follows asset forfeitures in 4 counties w/ predictable results...

I had a client who ran a junkyard. He was structuring deposits (keeping them under $10,000 which is not illegal) because he is an old man who thinks shite shouldn’t be reported to the government.
He did nothing wrong.
DHS came in with a warrant and seized close to $300,000. He had to prove his innocence, not the other way around, and sue to get most, not all, of his money back.
Civil asset forfeiture is horse shite.

shite is straight out of a Third World country. No way this should be legal or even practiced.

You mean the pill form, it's already available? Oh I bet you mean you want to smoke it and put all those bad chemicals such as Carbon Dioxide, which causes global warming ( I mean climate change) into your body.
If you want to smoke dope fine, but let's stop with this medical crap.

Actually, structuring is illegal. I understand his stance though.
Title 31 Section 5324
quote:
(a)Domestic Coin and Currency Transactions Involving Financial Institutions.—No person shall, for the purpose of evading the reporting requirements of section 5313(a) or 5325 or any regulation prescribed under any such section, the reporting or recordkeeping requirements imposed by any order issued under section 5326, or the recordkeeping requirements imposed by any regulation prescribed under section 21 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or section 123 of Public Law 91–508—
(3) structure or assist in structuring, or attempt to structure or assist in structuring, any transaction with one or more domestic financial institutions.

this dude WASN'T a criminal, as he had a valid prescription, and there was no charges against him, yet they still took and kept (and probably spent) his money...
that's just straight up robbery...

If it keeps just one teenager from getting hooked on pot it’s worth it in my opinion.
How can you people put a price on our children’s safety?

I’d say that’s an extremely fair point. I speak from my perspective, having done public defense for a couple years in small louisiana towns. You know, where you think racism would be most prevalent.

Thats pretty irrelevant.
Being guilty of past crimes doesnt make you guilty of all future accusations, nor does it mean the state can steal from you whatever it wants.

Unfortunately she shares that opinion with the guy in the oval office.

he wasn't charged with anything, nor was there anything about an outstanding warrant...
are you trying to say the cops are justified in taking his money because he may have had previous arrests? you have a TRULY fricked up sense of justice and punishment, if so...

But the man’s money still went into the coffers (wallets) of the police department
There I fixed it

Deliberately keeping deposits under 10k is most definitely illegal. It’s a felony on the federal level.
Doesn’t justify CAF though.
