When did Judges start ruling on feelings instead of facts?When Congress passed hate crime laws, which are nothng but feelings which have become criminal. I know that is not the same as the feelings of the judge but that is part of the same legal confusion.

Washington, Sam Adams, Paul Revere, etc, had a perfect response to this kind of high-handed dealing.

The Revenue Act of 1764, also known as the Sugar Act, was the first tax on the American colonies imposed by the British Parliament. Its purpose was to raise revenue through the colonial customs service and to give customs agents more power and latitude with respect to executing seizures and enforcing customs law. That the Act came from an external body rather than a colonial legislature alarmed a handful of colonial leaders in Boston who held that the Act violated their British privileges. Their principle complaint was against taxation without representation. Just as important, however, were the Acts profound implications for the colonial judicial system, for the Revenue Act of 1764 allowed British officers to try colonists who violated the new duties at a new Vice-Admiralty court in Halifax, Nova Scotia, thus depriving the colonists of their right to trial by a jury of their peers. The seriousness of this was not lost on the Massuchusetts Legislature: The extension of the powers of the courts of vice-admiralty has, so far as the jurisdiction of the said courts hath been extended, deprived the colonies of one of the most valuable of English liberties, trials by juries (Petition from the Massachusetts Legislature to the House of Commons, 3 November 1764). The Act also established new trial procedures which essentially freed customs officers from all responsibility and from effective civil suits for damages in colonial courts. While a handful of colonial leaders recognized the grave implications of the Revenue Act, it was not until news of the Stamp Act reached the colonies that the seeds of rebellion were planted in the hearts and minds of the broader public.

The lesson here is to put large sums of money in a bank account ... When more than $10,000 in cash is either put in or taken out of a bank or other financial institution it must be reported to the government, possibly leading to the same results.

Associates of Gonzolez testified in court that they had pooled their life savings to purchase a refrigerated truck to start a produce business. Be that as it may, I find it hard to believe that they are telling the truth. How can they expect to run a business without first starting with a bank account, a cashier's check, anything but over $100 grand in a cooler? Who the heck buys a commercial truck with cash in the first place? We can all understand a few thousand in cash for a used car, but who makes deals like this in cash? Who would accept that kind of money in exchange for a truck anyway?
I think there is more going on here than is presented in this article.

The next thing on the list: "Having Money in a 401(k)/Roth IRA is a Crime." I won't be surprised once Social Security is a vapor of its present form in a couple generations.

I think there is a lot more going on here as well. You don't make a cash transaction to buy a truck with that amount of money. Why not put it in a bank and get a cashier's check?
This smells.

Just a note: Would it be possible to amass $100,000 of cash without some drug
You can ask for new money that has never been in circulation. They would take it off the truck with a forklift where I worked in the past. The site has been repalced with a parking lot. Each brick is $20,000 you would only need 5.
To: eastforker
If you put more than $10,000 in cash in the bank at one time, you have to account for where it came from because it is going to be reported. Anyone carrying $100,000 in cash is stupid IMHO!

The state troopers could start a new way to earn cash...set up a half mile outside a casino and pull over winners, large amounts of cash....no arrests.....more doughnuts for the station.
