I like to buy things with cash. If I want to buy that GT350 I see advertised. I like to go with cash. Why? maybe I can get it cheaper.
VA hasn't gone off the deep end "yet". But court proceedings aside, remember the PERSON was never even arrested or charged. The MONEY was taken. I've got no beef with arresting the PERSON who might have had cash on them, if there was cause to arrest the PERSON, but theft of property under color of law can not be defended for any reason.
I definitely see your point, I sold a motorcycle and delivered the bike at the airport. Counting $20k on the trunk of my car was not fun. Just the idea of LE taking cash without an arrest is astonishing to me.
I never really understood the "war on drugs" Yes some will use them most will not. Some others will abuse them. Some of these will break laws, some will not.
Which is when you most likely would hit this problem. Live in Oh, car is in TX. You bring the max amount you are willing to spend. Get stopped in TN for running a stop sign, they "steal" your money.
yup, some bums or kids smoke or do drugs on property while homeowner is out shopping and they get arrested in the act. State brings charges against the HOUSE for being the location of drug activity. And the mind-boggling thing is the judge GOES FOR IT. And seizes the property and gov't sells it at auction. And not once is the homeowner charged with anything or even accused of failing to have a 50cal machine gun mounted on the roof and full-coverage video with AI pattern recognition that would have shot the druggies when it detected they were doing more than lighting up cigarettes under the porch overhang. The HOUSE is supposed to be sentient apparently.
