June 17, 201511 yr I cannot tell you how angry I get when I read these types of articles. How is this any different than flat out stealing from people? Make you surrender cash to the county to avoid prosecution...for going 3 miles over the speed limit... So because you are going 3 miles over the speed limit and have cash in your car, you are assumed to be a drug dealer?!?!?
June 17, 201511 yr Notwithstanding anything I have said, I have no idea why you would ever drive around with a bunch of cash on you. Put it in an account or get a check from the casino. Between the bad guys out there (who may be following you if you win) and the cops, it is very dangerous to carry around any real cash.
June 18, 201511 yr This is garbage. Some people don't trust banks. Simple as that. I know a handful of people who walk around with no less than $20K with them at all times because, well, the mood might strike them for an impulse purchase.

I should never have to tell the government why I have money on me period. It is none of the government's business .
June 18, 201511 yr I should never have to tell the government why I have money on me period. It is none of the government's business . I'm of the opinion that part of the mistrust of law enforcement that our society is dealing with comes not just from heavy-handed physical tactics. The failed war on drugs has succeeded in creating a bustling incarceration economy that feeds a lot of money into election campaigns, and requires lots of new intakes to grow.
June 18, 201511 yr I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who said "If you have a government that can give you everything you want, you have a government that can take everything you have." I truly think this is where we are heading in the US.
June 18, 201511 yr The IRS structuring rules are absurd also. They can seize all your assets if you make multiple legal deposits under $10k. If you make a few $9900 deposits, the IRS can charge you for trying to avoid the paperwork. Many, many cases where they seized businesses because of this. That is not an IRS rule that is Federal law and it will not be the IRS but a Federal prosecutor charging you with a violation of said law. So if you are structuring to avoid paperwork, they are not "legal" deposits, they are violations of 31 U.S. Code § 5324.
June 18, 201511 yr I vote yes, just can't stand the smell. Same with cigarettes, can't stand that smell either. But hell, if smelling bad is against the law, they couldn't build enough jails. Ol' papa would be thrown in the back of the paddywagon after a bowl of soup beans and chow-chow relish.
June 18, 201511 yr That is not an IRS rule that is Federal law and it will not be the IRS but a Federal prosecutor charging you with a violation of said law. So if you are structuring to avoid paperwork, they are not "legal" deposits, they are violations of 31 U.S. Code § 5324. The IRS is part of the federal government and the IRS requires you to fill out form when you deposit over $10k. IRS also requires banks to inform them secretly when customers deposit less than $10k in account whether it is legal or not. If I am a bartender or stripper in Vegas and I deposit $7k a month from cash tips into account, guess what, the government can take my money. They don't charge you with anything. They make you sue them to get your money back or settle for less than what they took. I understand the law and trying to catch money launderers, but many, many innocent victims get their money taken away with no trial. But we can be thankful now, because IRS says they will stop stealing your money. New IRS enforcement policy ignites debate on value of bank ?structuring? reports
June 18, 201511 yr Just realized that they have not returned the cash to the kid. If they investigated and found nothing wrong, give it back to him.

June 18, 201511 yr So apparently it's against the law to smell like weed now? Hotly contested as to whether or not the "smell" constitutes probable cause, however, most police officers will use smell as PC to get a dog on site. A good attorney could make the argument that smell is not PC because you cannot prove ownership or consumption by smell. The most ironic part of this whole thread: Duece posts his question at 4:20. Absolutely made my day !

It happens indeed.
