You make it sound like the police just enter into ANYBODY’s home and take their money and then blow it on goodies for the police dept.

What they do now is pull people over on the highway, get a drug sniffing dog around the car, coach the dog to bark, search the car, and then confiscate any money found without any evidence that the cash was involved in criminal activity.

Then the citizen has to prove the money is legitimate, which can be a very costly process. Basically, civil asset forfeiture is based on the absurdity that an inanimate object has committed a crime.

Any police officer that has pulled over a citizen and confiscated their cash without any evidence of a crime is a thieving piece of human vermin and should be imprisoned for the rest of their natural life.

coach the dog to bark LOL yea only if they find explosives or drugs.

Dogs don’t bark at money for crying out loud and then the police take it with out charge, what on earth are you on about

I agree.

I am also careful to almost never have much cash on me. Live by the card, and not many of those either.

Also, I think it's a good habit to consider the evening a dangerous time for exposure to:

1. Mosquitos
2. Criminals without badges
3. Criminals with badges

I'm not saying never go out in the evening, just beware, that's the time of day you are most likely to get bitten by pests of all kinds.
