Being suspicious and confiscating it w/o proving any of those suspicions are two different things...
That is a good point
Yeah I Completely agree.
There’s too much confiscation going on.
I was glad when Rudy Giuliani clamped down on prostitution but when he made it law that the car being driven by johns was part of the criminal act and would be confiscated, that was too much.
Probably quite effective but effective doesn’t always make something right.
i dunno.

Government (particularly dems IMO) don’t care to stop any of the drugs and money that crosses our borders, but they have no problem stripping citizens of the money they spent their whole lives earning.
Just goes along with the saying that I have, that there is no such thing as private property in the U.S. Property ownership is an illusion. You only pay rent on it to the government for as long as they are willing to let you keep it, and that rent can go up as much as they please. Cash, of course, never really was your either. You were permitted to use it, so long as you gave government it’s cut every time you did, no matter which way and with whom the transaction (a few exceptions), and as this article shows, it can be taken away without any due process except to try to sue.
