And when do they believe crime is going on? When you're driving with cash, no more evidence and no conviction needed to confiscate that cash, says the law. Search for: Eighth Circuit Appeals Court ruling says police may seize cash from motorists even in the absence of any evidence that a crime has been committed.
> should [they] be blinded so that they don't accidentally accost people who are not engaged in crime?
Given the law above, yes. So they don't intentionally accost people to get their cash.
- sliverstorm 13y agoThat seems like "solving" the wrong problem. How is preventing the government from tracing very large transactions going to do anything to stop them from conducting random searches of your car and seizing cash you had on-hand?
- genwin 13y agoIt prevents the gov't from conducting nonrandom searches of your car to seize your cash they know you just withdrew.
- sliverstorm 13y agoOk, I would really like some evidence that the government is tracking your withdraws and dispatching police cruisers to pull you over and confiscate the money.
- genwin 13y agoI didn't say they were. I'm saying they shouldn't be allowed to track your withdrawals as long as they can legally confiscate the money you withdraw, no evidence of a crime needed.
