Government Can Take Your Money – Without Charges

[OKTexas]

Didn't know this? Well, here's a story of a guy riding a train west, During a stop at the Amtrack station in Albuquerque, NM, DEA agents stopped a man and confiscated the $16,000 he was carrying. They left him penniless and he wasn't even detained.


A DEA agent boarded the train at the Albuquerque Amtrak station and began asking various passengers, including Rivers, where they were going and why. When Rivers replied that he was headed to LA to make a music video, the agent asked to search his bags. Rivers complied.


Rivers was the only passenger singled out for a search by DEA agents – and the only black person on his portion of the train, Pancer said.


Rivers was left penniless, his dream deferred


How long can this continue? When is someone going to stand up and put a stop to this?

No, the real question is how many have contacted their reps and demanded they put a stop to it? I know I have.

Yes. It is apparently illegal to carry money now.

no. It is not. It is illegal to have that kind of cash without it being reported to the IRS.

No it isn't. Having 10k in cash doesn't violate any law. And there's no requirement you report it to anyone if you're driving down the road. If you pass through the borders of the US, sure. But within it?

Nope.

You're mistaking cash transaction of more than 10k for simply having 10k. They aren't the same thing. The former comes with an IRS reporting requirement. The latter doesn't.

Then you are shredded in a hail of about 200 shots, at least six of which actually hit you.

The Feds are actually pretty good shots most of the time; except FBI. Staties vary from place to place and local LEOs are all over the target most of the time.
