My father ran a yacht brokerage

It's people like you that become judges like this. You want to reason things not seen.

NO DRUGS WERE FOUND!

I'll give you some first-hand experience. I don't need to bring my "daddy" into the fray. I built houses in NC for years. I bui8lt a house for cash. I got haalf up front, and the balance when the sheetrock went into it. I gave them a nice house.

Drug dealers? NO! The folk that I built a nice home for had sold their house in Detroit, and come back home, after he retired from FOMOCO. They were black, and "country" (despite 40 years in MI) and didn't like banks.

I sat a rickety kitchen table talking to "Pop", while mom went back to the bedroom and returned with stacks of hundreds and fifties.

Of course, that was a different time.Now socialist trolls felt everybody must be a drug dealer or other type criminal, if they don't like banks, and pay with cash.

In another first-hand account, I carry a lot of cash sometimes. I employ sub-contractors who need to cash my large check on a saturday, so they can pay others. Many small guys operate like that. Of course, to you that is probably illegal or questionable, too!

I visit pawn shops several times a wseek, as well. I buy a lot of good stuff. Last week, my daughter found a stack of almost new first-rate DVD's and we bought 38 of them for a hundred bucks, CASH. We went to another store, and bought a 30g video iPod for $200. I didn't get a box, but I had to take the plastic protector off the screen. Daughter didn't care. We went to another pawn shop, and I bought a car. I paid cash for it, too... and will continue. Money talks and BS walks...

Better start walking!

If you don't like this decision, then you are perfectly free to petition for a change in the law. For that matter, there is nothing stopping you from writing to the newspaper or protesting outside the courthouse.

But it is extremely rude to make personal attacks on someone just because you're mad at how the judges ruled in this case & are not happy with this law.

Throughout my posts on this topic, I have tried to argue how such a transaction could raise red flags in a reasonably-minded person. I have also tried to point out the hazards that may arise from such deals (such as the increased risk of theft, accidental loss, or damage to reputation if one party turns out to be not on the up-and-up).

I like to think that I can present my points on a matter objectively and politely. Why is it that several other posters on this topic can't do the same? This is only one of two forums that I participate in on the Internet; on the other forum, posters refrain from personal attacks, apologize if they give offense (inadvertently or otherwise), and are kept in line by other posters & moderators. It's too bad the same can't happen here at Free Republic.
