"receives more than $10,000 in coins or currency in 1 transaction (or 2 or more related transactions)" emphasis mine
Personally, I don't know any clerks who would think purchases made a month apart were "related transactions" under this law....but I guess if you really pissed the clerk off, he could technically use this law against you....since I don't know how you treat clerks, I will grant you might be in danger.
The idea that we should deprive all people of the right to purchase items with cash is the same type of thinking that says we should do away with the right to own and carry guns because some people do bad things with guns.
Congratulations! You are the first person to link this law to a violation of the Second Amendment. Now we are assured this thread will get another 300 hits.
And before anyone flames me on that comment, please note my car has a bumper sticker that says Armed Men are Citizens Unarmed Men are Subjects.
The thought process that makes it OK to strip away one right is the same one used to strip away others. One problem we face in defending our rights is too many people only want to protect the rights they think apply to them.
Someone uses credit cards and checks so the right to use cash is not a concern to them. Someone else (Rosie) has a team of armed guards and rides around in a limo, so the right to own and carry a gun isn't important to her. The thought process is the same.
The small infringements of our rights grow into larger ones and we slip ever farther down the slope to subjugation. Stopping the erosion of our rights means stopping all erosion notjust the erosion of rights we are using at the moment.
