I am a resident of the great state of Tennessee. Three
years ago I delivered a vehicle I had restored from my home in Lebanon [in mid. Tn.] to a buyer in Johnson City in east
Tn.. The buyer paid me 21,600 in cash and I had a copy of the bill of sale.
I was stopped by a commercial vehicle enforcement officer
even though I was operating a private vehicle. A zippered
bank bag on the seat provided probable cause for my money to be seized. I was not charged but my cash was found guilty
and sentenced to a permanent separation from my wallet.
Only my stubbornness and an overpopulation of lawyers in my list of relatives reunited the cash with it's rightful owner.
I found out later they could have taken my vehicle under the same pretense/law. I don't understand it but it's happening.

They don’t want you to understand it.

Infact they hope you’ll ignore it and just be a good little victim of the system It needs to feed, it needs more money so the Gestapo can buy more toys they get use on us when they need to extract more money for more toys to use on us...

I thought that Tennessee was one of the good states, a good place to live. This makes me think otherwise!

You being a Tennesseean, is there a lot of this kind of corruption going on? How safe is your state to move to?

FWIW, there is a Federal law prohibiting $10,000 or more in cash to transferred without the proper paperwork. This law was setup on the excuse that it was needed to combat cash payments for drug trade and money laundering.

The same is true when flying on commercial flights. Passengers have been flagged detention, search arrest, and seizure of cash for purchasing their tickets in cash and/or purchasing one-way tickets. One of the news stories was about another man who delivered a collectible automobile to a private customer, and he was arrested and his cash from the sale of the auto seized when he tried to purchase an airline ticket for a flight home. The airline's ticket agent was required to call the police when he went to purchase his airline ticket.

The trading of precious metals and coins can also be a target for seizures by LEO.
