Teh police state is fueled by asset forfeiture laws that allow the police to seize your property on the mere suspicion that it is linked to illegal drug activity. Uncounted thousands of innocent people have lost property because the cops SUSPECTED illegal activity. This is blatantly in violation of the Fourth Amendment yet YOU claim that this helps you be free? Want to see how free you are, just try to buy an airline ticket with cash and then walk through the metal detectors with $5000 cash on you. I guarantee you that your money will be taken from you and you won’t be charged with anything. Is THAT the kind of “freedom” you want?
I’m all for asset forfeitures.
That ten grand in cash you have in your truck is drug money. Pure and simple.
If you have proof - show it. The trouble is - NOBODY can deny it. It’s easier for the couriers to walk away from that money than it is to go legal. The cartels know and understand this. Its a cost of doing business.
What I don’t understand is why you want to hand this money back to the drug cartels?
