Granted, traveling with 1,000,000 in cash is NOT the brightest move ever, but the disturbing part is that your money is "guilty until proven innocent" and it can just be seized with no probable cause to seize it.
Scary stuff.

I think that some day, one of these little incidents is going to end very badly for someone.

IRS operates by Napoleonic Code - you are guilty until you prove you are innocent.
On the other hand, the federal government wanting to make a profit from a prostitute’s earnings shows they are what we always knew they were.

I wonder how she proved she earned it and if she paid taxes on it. There’s no such thing as innocent until proven guilty anymore. Even with local cops and courts.

Police are often acting without probable cause these days and often do not know the fourth amendment.

I don’t think nude dancing as at nudie bars is a good thing.
That said, I’m really, really glad that she got her money back. She earned it, and earned it the hard way. They had no rightful authority to seize her money.
This seizure crap has gone way, way too far.

The government only has to pay her $40,000 legal fees!?
That’s a no-lose position for the government. Someone needs to lose their job over this, or it will simply continue.
