I wonder if you would just be better off refusing these kinds of actions as a private citizen. I'm pretty sure you could make enough noise about it that it wouldn't be worth their while. Same with those videos of police officers trying to cease cash from people after pulling them over. I would just refuse to give it to them. Are they going to shoot me for money on the side of the road?

You can't. From the article they would seize entire bank accounts before even talking with you or giving you a legal notice. They often take physical assets with violent force, too. (E.g. they show up with guns)

Are they going to shoot me for money on the side of the road? That depends. How dark is your skin? How nice is your car? How well do you speak? One of the mitigating factors for police criminality seems to be the apparent race and class of the victim. Most police may not shoot you on the side of the road for your money, but it's a matter of privilege to be able to refuse their demands and not be met with immediate violence.

> Are they going to shoot me for money on the side of the road? you're simply not given an opportunity to "refuse". it's usually going to go something like: 1) "mr doe, step out of the car." refuse? you're getting tased and definitely going to jail for refusing a lawful order. 2) "mr doe, i'm going to search your car now." well you're out of your car. you can (and should) say "no", but your car is getting searched regardless. maybe you jump the cop? or shoot at them? now you're definitely going to jail for assaulting the cop, if you even survive the night. 3) they find cash. they bundle it up, pull it out and probably just go stuff it in their car. if they're smart they're not even going to tell you what they're moving until it's locked up in their trunk. if you figure it out and say "hey you can't take that blah blah", they're going to ignore you. so you're back to assaulting them somehow. you're definitely going to jail.
