I’ve seen so much abuse of that rhetoric.
This guy might not even be one of them; but they are using him as a news pigeon.
Sovereign citizen groups using the guy as a News pigeon....
BINGO!!
Many thanks for nailing it!
Means nothing. Drug dogs are trained to alert upon cue from their handlers, so as to provide "probable cause."
If somebody cared, the FBI could probably attack such practices. Won’t happen under Obama however. Maybe under a libertarian executive.
"Oops. I have to search your car. I can get a warrant you know. My dog is never wrong ..."
I agree they should be given but we just don’t know do we. As to marked bills its not what one thinks about when getting into the car.
A few dozen thousand, then one might prudently take precautions. Police are not the only people who could steal, after all.
The “progressives” of all parties do not believe in freedom.
there are fewer places offshore that are safe for the little guy.
Sometimes investigators don’t WANT action because that would obviate their purpose.
“There are so many great, safe jurisdictions in the world to bank, to invest, to own property, and to store assets. And you can set all of this up without leaving town.”
OK. So in this case the guy had $25 in cash. Now tell me how he could have got $25k in cash out of the country w/o taking some enormous risks? It is still legal to take out more tan $25k, but it must be declared and this will be reported to every f-—ing Fed Gestapo agency.
Same goes for physical PMs and anything else conspicuous. Send out digital financial instruments and you have the same problem. Is this guy some kind of coyote?
once an unmarked tow truck showed up to two my MG that wasn’t running from the street in front of my house. I called the cops and they said it was a city truck. I then called the state police. The sgt of the precinct was at my house in minutes. they towed the MG but i followed them to the junk yard and quickly called a friend to tow the mg to a guy who eventually restored and customized the car for me.
Last year the Star revisited the issue in 12 states, and found the problem as bad, if not worse than before, in every state.
And until they are found guilty to the exclusion of a reasonable doubt of a crime, they are to be considered innocent.
He doesn’t. It is for the State to prove that he is in possession of it illegally.
He shouldn’t need a “reason” to carry his own money, but he is a dumb-arse for not hiding it better!
Those “drug dogs” are trained to “alert” on cue. I used to believe that crap that they could sniff out drugs. Then again, at one time, I believed that the cops were honest. But I was brought back to reality.
I’m not a dog handler, but I’ve worked with a couple different types of working dogs. I will politely disagree with the inference that all working.g dogs are fakes and only alert on command in order to provide their handlers fake PC.
Not all cops are crooks, despite what some may think. I might agree that for too many are corrupt, but I don’t think I would agree that it’s a majority of them. I still think most cops are good people with positive intentions. This is based on my personal experience and exposure, since I clearly haven’t met or worked with enough cops to say I can speak to the whole of the family race nationwide...
The point of my post was to link a better article on the primary case being discussed. The original article lacked both context and objectivity.
If I were king for the day... It would become the policy of the government that any and all assets seized or frozen would be held in escrow until such time as a criminal or civil judgment was issued. Due process, especially as it relates to asset seizures, has been abused and twisted to the point one sometimes wonders if the 4th and 5th amendments are still on the books.
