Gov Abbott signed HB1902 a few days ago to make Jugging a felony in Texas.

Jugging: Where a criminal targets someone who just withdraws money from a bank or an ATM machine.
I wish basic English would be used. Not seeing any need to give Assault/Theft/Battery a new name. Nobody’s asking my permission or approval. Oh well.
Jugging may be confused with ‘Huffing’ since both are verbs.
Huffing: Breathing in noxious fumes in order to get high.
One guy who left $60,000 in his unoccupied car:
“I was just wanting to have a little cash on hand to, you know, negotiate with.”
Happened to me. Noticed I was being followed after drawing money from an ATM. There was a Home Depot nearby, so I drove there. You want to rob me in front of a bunch of construction workers, go for it. They broke off their pursuit. I never went to that ATM again.
It truly is a jungle out there.
I don’t live in urban America (thank God).
And, I only go there (armed) if I absolutely must.
Crime can happen anywhere.
But, if you bring it to me, I’m FUBARing you!
“Joggers” engaging in “jugging.” What a shocker.
Always the usual suspects. Flash mobs, Mugging, juggling, the knock out game…everything but working. they got a million of em!
“Jugging.” And there I thought that was simple robbery.
always the damn amish...
You mean like assault, theft and battery? Why does there have to be a new name and new classification of crime?
I have never used an ATM in my life. Not once in 70 years.
Based on the video the crime should actually be called “nugging”.
Curious for any ex-military retirees in carry states if these incidents are borne of inside knowledge - i.e., tellers messaging the crews - or if this is just a visual stakeout and profiling of bank customers.
What I’m getting at is going hunting with a satchel and an inflatable device within for ‘post-banking’.
“Bait”
I’d pay for that experience ;-) /s
How are they targetting only people that make large withdrawls? Other than the guys that followed the ATM repairman, it sounds like there is an mole at the bank tipping off the criminals.
Why are all the perpetrators black?
Notice no one ever attacks the gold
Miners in the Yukon when they take gold to the buyers.
$60,000? Sounds like a tip off from a bank teller.
When we do our monthly cash transfer and shopping trip, I always accompany my wife. I am of course well armed. Not that we have that much to worry about in CDA, but you never know.
My head has been on a swivel for some time now. While driving on surface streets, I leave plenty of room to maneuver at stop signs, stop lights, room to escape if necessary.
With the advent of cars with backup cameras, I use them not just for cars, pedestrians.* I check to see if any creeps are around.
*Pedestrians. I am still amazed at how many skulls full of mush (young and old) will walk behind a moving vehicle as I back up. Some of these idiots get mad when I don’t/cannot see them.
