re: Monroe woman arrested for "unpaid 2008 ticket" then robbed by Monroe PD

She should thank her lucky stars that she wasn't shot to death.

Are you blaming her for what happened?

This is actually comical considering my stance in 99% of cop posts on this board. Usually I'm arguing with LNCHBOX about how shitty the cops behaved. I'm not giving them a pass, just making a comment about people who carry large amounts of cash in 2016. Everyone can come up with a good reason here or there, but the majority of it is some form of money laundering.

which could just be three bills depending on what a "large amount" is to this woman-

Fair enough - carrying $300 is probably not money laundering.

We're remodeling our house. I had several thousand dollars on me the week before last buying materials and paying labor costs. I guess I deserved to be robbed too

---

A) Never said it was deserved.

B) Your one-off situation isn't quite the norm and doesn't disprove anything I state.

C) Why were you paying for materials in cash?

D) Those cash payments for labor costs are almost certainly going to be underreported, which goes back to my original point...

It's not my problem if the flooring guy, sheetrock guy, etc report the cash or not. That's on them.

Yeah I didn't suggest otherwise, but we know they usually don't. That's the point. You had cash for legitimate purposes. 2+ other people had cash that will go unreported or underreported.

Let me make this as clear as possible for you - no one deserves to have their shite stolen. The police seem to have fricked up royally. There is a good chance these particular funds - a "large deposit" by her own admission - is income that is not reported or underreported on her income taxes. I despise tax cheats, and if she is a tax cheat, then I don't have much sympathy for her, even though she doesn't deserve to be robbed. The end.

Let me make this clear to you. This attitude is a direct manifestation of what the frick is wrong with this country. The fact that you cannot have sympathy for a person being robbed (by a police officer) because the money is presumably not reported to the IRS, which taxes income unconstitutionally. frick you, your mentality, and literally everything you stand for. You are probably some shite stain accountant that can't produce any value in life except scraping the mold off of the government's cheese come tax season.

Yeah, it's perplexing how he feels so wildly entitled to a cut of this woman's earnings through taxes.

I'm not an accountant. Butt heads with them quite often actually.

Seriously wtf are you talking about? I play by all of the rules of the system. If I don't like the rules, I do what I can to change them, but I don't cheat them. I take issue with those that do, particularly with respect to income taxes and for multiple reasons. First and foremost, a tax cheat is no different than those that suck the government dry by abusing benefits - they're both essentially stealing from me. Second, cheating the system in such a manner leads to people who become apathetic about the problems within the system. If you're avoiding taxes you rightfully owe, you don't really give a shite about changing problems within the tax code. You've found your illegal alternative and nothing gets done as a result.

frick tax cheats and frick the Monroe PD, if this story is accurate.
