We are living in a time when the due process protections of the Fourth Amendment are more important than ever.
Back in 2012, couple Adam and Jennifer Perry were speeding down an Illinois highway to reach a hearing specialist based in Salt Lake City, Utah who was supposed to treat an ear infection afflicting Adam. Their high speed drew the attention of state troopers, who pulled the couple over.
After a drug dog sniffed the Perry’s car, police searched their vehicle. They turned up empty-handed, with the only thing vaguely resembling the drugs they were looking for being a duffel bag that officers claimed smelled of marijuana.
But they found something else: $107,520 in cash, belonging to the Perrys’.
The officers let them go, but they kept the cash, even though the Perrys’ weren’t charged with a crime or even subject to a search warrant.

Both sides have a hand in it. May have started as Democrat, but Republicans went along for the deep pockets. Goes back to Feds implement social payouts which bankrupt states as feds don’t fund for the welfare. To keep other departments up and running, they resort to this. Meanwhile, ever notice how filthy rich 3 top branches become overnight? President on down.
Technically it was a corrupt decision about a cake and the gays.
That’s kind of the point of this whole post. They want your money in the bank and will make it criminal to have any substantial amount of cash without approval. Most people will likely just forfeit the money. Don’t put it above the law to charge you with a crime if you rock the boat. They’ll do that just to cover their backtrail and shut you up, and keep their department out of a lawsuit. The bankers are going to use leo’s like mob enforcers.
There’s only one way I would treat a situation like this,just like any other person trying to rob a person.They wouldn’t get away with it..
Grand theft.
Ummm what? ?? I would be furious!!!!
The Soviet union never really fell, they just shifted gears and changed the name. They knew they couldn’t afford to keep going at the rate they were, so they had to change. I guess you could say technically they aren’t communist, but you still have the same people in power. People who were diehard commies. They’re rebuilding that empire right now.
I dream of the day I have $100k as spare change.
No more constitution, we have our great ghetto prez to thank for that
then it’s not a seizure. it’s robbery.
