You're just not getting it. The real question is not why do people fear the law if they have nothing to hide? It's why does the government fear the citizens if it means them no harm?
Why is no one asking this?
Once again. I sat on a Federal Grand Jury for a year. I have seen lots of citizens who did harm brought down by these money laundering laws.
The real question is why would you oppose a law that is of minimal impact on lawabiding citizens and of maximum impact on catching bad guys? Just because it is a law doesn't mean it is bad. Please give me a litigimate reason why a lawabiding person would want to pay $10,000 in cash for anything, other than just to show he could...and it would definitely be a guy....most people want to write a check or use a credit card so they personally have a record of the transaction. Other than a generalized fear of government...what is your reason?
