Boco likes to stir things up for reasons known only to him.

Hard to believe anyone would support cops stealing money without evidence. Which is what it is. Theft. If there is no evidence to charge him with a crime what justification is there for taking his property?

I believe it is the anonymity of cash that big brother hates. When you involve a bank in your private affairs you are tracked. Internet companies, bank card companies, your bank, and the government, all know where your money is spent and for what. They know the source of that money if your deposit is a direct deposit or from a check. When cash is used your private affairs stay private.

Don't forget that if cops steal your money you have to go to court to get it back. Your taking them to court. The burden of proof is on you. Same thing the IRS does. The burden of proof has shifted from the accuser to the accused.

another loss of our civil rights

People dont walk around with $22,000 in a bag unless they are up to no good.There are exceptions and its easy to prove with bank records.
If its legit money he will have no problem proving where it came from.If its laundered money or money from crime Its good that he got caught.

Vacuumed sealed money is laundered money. Plain and simple. Like Boco.said. If it is legal. No worries. If it is not. Well then you got what’s coming to you.

The problem with civil asset forfeiture is t necessarily the taking of the property,it's the guilty until proven innocent mindset. Typically the person who's property is being sized isn't even charged with a crime. Their stuff just gets taken because *maybe* it was involved in a crime. Now the burden of proff is on you to get your stuff back, not on the government to prove that your stuff was used in the commission of a crime. Sure sometimes that easy to prove, sometimes it's not. But the proff should be on the accuser, not the accused.

Of course it's the anonymity they hate. That's why governments and central banks are afraid of Bitcoin, well that and it's not fiat.

Looks like cash is still illegal also. Any chance a bill or two had been used as a coke or meth straw? by someone else? No charges filed but L.E. steals the money. looks to me like the thieves are the only ones there is enough evidence to convict.

It's nothing for some farmers to go to an equipment auction and have 100K+ in CASH in their pockets or bib Carhartts. Cash is still king! :-)

I've collected cash for decades and put into my safe. I also have a few bank accounts and a credit union account. If someone asked me about the tens of thousands I was buying something with and it was cash from my safe I shouldn't have to prove it was mine. It's not I'll gotten gains but I would have no record or proof that it was mine. Just saying

I'll just say up front, I dont get any of my new from YahooNews . I dont doubt the cash got siezed though.

She probably showed the judge how she earned it in his chambers.

Bottom line is she had to go to court. The cops got no censure for taking it. Thieves should do time. Porch pirates, shop lifters, gas drive offs. If somebody can do time in the county jail for peeing behind a dumpster in an alley, then thieves definitely need to do time. All of them.

Them thieving cops would have a ball with all the Chinese people around here that are building Marijuana grow operations. They carry briefcases full of crisp clean banded cash just like everyone has always seen in the movies. One had his truck window smashed in the other day and supposedly lost upwards of $20,000 in cash. No biggie to them he made a phone call and had $100K more in 2 days. Our sheriff department and city cops would be cutting a fat hog if they started stealing from them. They have no right to seize someone's cash if there no proof it was part of a crime.
