George III looks better every day. We seem to have traded one tyrant 3000 miles away for 3000 tyrants one mile away.

If as stated, this is pure BS! As a matter of fact, I'd prefer no confiscations unless accompanied by a relevant conviction. The WOD has gone too far.

Does it raise suspicion carrying that kind of cash? Yes. Does it justify the government seizing it? No way in hell. Suspicion is not guilt!

What a crock.
Just a note: Would it be possible to amass $100,000 of cash without some drug residue being on some of the bills. Isn't that physically impossible?
I sure hope I never get a drugsniffing dog sic'd onto my wallet after I've made an ATM withdrawl.

Absolutely and utterly ridiculous. This judge should be impeached and exiled. The failed war on some drugs zealots must be stopped before they shred our entire Constitution.

A ridiculous seizure of private property. I'm not surprised the dog alerted. There is lots of cash in circulation with drug residues (cocaine) on it. You may have a $20 bill in your own pocket with such residue at this moment.
The lesson here is to put large sums of money in a bank account and use a wire transfer when the appropriate time comes to transfer it to the intended party. If you do otherwise, the government has decided you are a drug dealer and will confiscate your personal property with no other proof required.

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.

(CAUTION: This propaganda is laced with hyperbole.)
To: FreedomCalls
Yesterday the Eighth Circuit summarily dismissed Gonzolez's story. It overturned a lower court ruling that had found no evidence of drug activity, stating, "We respectfully disagree and reach a different conclusion... Possession of a large sum of cash is 'strong evidence' of a connection to drug activity." Ridiculous. When just having cash is taken as evidence of a crime, then there is something far wrong with how we are doing things.
