You and me both! And I'm not a teacher! ---- just 'pizzes' me off when there are grammatical errors!

Sounds like you have anger issues. Hopefully you get some professional help

Alleged loophole, just like your money is alleged to have been gained by unlawful means!

Plain and simple it’s theft by the police and any person who claims to be an American that supports the current practice that has been used to take money from law obeying citizens should be ashamed of themselves. A 70 year

At one point I thought my husband was bull headed and overstating the extent of this but after hearing some first hand accounts and witnessing the devastation on an aquaitences life and the end result of it ending in suicide I no longer take it lightly.

You should do some research into how many people that have been searched at roadside and had money taken with not even the slightest hint of a crime.
It happens much more than most realise and even if it only happens once it in my opinion makes

You would be wrong in thinking it’s very rare! Its much more common than you think and happens with much lower amounts than most here are talking about. The fact that it happens at all to any one who is never charged with a crime and costs in many cases as much or more than the amount taken to force the return of your money makes it wrong in so many ways.

The person I knew that was victimized by the process was financially ruined, never broke a law, not even the alleged speeding he was pulled over for. He didn’t even get a ticket or a written warning for his troubles just the seizure of his money and a hole list of headaches trying to get it back. They even at one point offered to give him some of it back if he signed some type of agreement. Now if it wasnt money from crime and they were willing to give some of it back, charged no crimes why wasn’t he entitled to ALL of his money? Better yet why was it taken in the first place?

The hole process and s flawed and if it happens to just one person there is no justifying it in any way!

There was a story on a big national news outlet on police department s between Knoxville and Trashville stealing cash from people traveling through. No crime committed, just take the cash.

This is why I have little to zero respect for government, including LE.

I'm glad I read this thread as I didn't realize that it was a crime to have a large sum of money to purchase an item, I just purchased a new skidsteer out of state a couple of weeks ago and the dealer said it was no problem to write a personal check.

It's not a crime to have large sums of money to buy something.

Oddly, it's not a crime for the police to just take it from you either.

Seems that there needed to be a better check on the cheque perhaps the guy is a Czech or has a checkered career!

I sold my 2019 L3301 last year and the guy paid me with a check.

I told him as soon as it cleared my bank I would call him to come pick it up. Which it did in 2 days.

That second part is mostly what I was getting at, I don't wan't to go through the hassle of having something (money) that was earned legitimately being possibly confiscated from me because I am travelling with it to buy a piece of equipment, vehicle, etc, and while I realize to be stopped or pulled over for a traffic violation would probably be coincidental if I had my money taken from me I would consider myself to have been robbed, and that is exactly how you make outlaws out of good people.

I looked at the last news story of the guys face blown up. Does he have a black eye or a patch?

In the future do I wrap the cash in tin foil, my head, or what I bought?

Just put the cash under your tinfoil hat.

Where'd you get your avatar photo? You might be up for a reward.

Weirdest thing happened this morning. I put some new George’s in my wallet, some my wife had. Driving to work, this cop drives down on ramp next to me, then stays right beside me for awhile. Then he speeds up and gets in front of me. Then he gets back into the right exit lane and pulls up beside the car ahead of me, and then paces beside it.

Weird. Thank goodness for my RFID wallet.
