Dont keep all your money in the USA

Bears repeating ,,, oddly enough the strictest bank account privacy laws today are in the Philippines,, but only for accounts denominated in foreign currencies. Their SC Chief Justice was tried for taking bribes and such after he was found to have real estate and other holdings he would have needed 100 lifetimes to earn... He was acquitted .. his bank accounts couldn’t be used as evidence.
Jeez. I think I’m too well known around here. I can’t get anyone all pissed off at me. lol
Well said.
I just figured you had a thing for the ladies in uniform. :)
Definitely a lot of beloved pets have ended up dead.
“Understand that every Right you were granted under the Constitution has been steadily compromised.” -amPU
The Bill of Rights - granted no right to anything. It recognized certain, but not all, natural rights, and contained other restrictive clauses on the federal government.
.then fight to end immigration. That isn’t happening.
Quit whining. That boot on your neck is there to protect you.
We should go back to the law and order days of alcohol prohibition.
Another article linked says that if you refuse the search of your bags they will take them into custody and have a hearing on confiscation. And you aren’t allowed to attend the hearing.
Always surprises me how many nanny-state fascists are on FR.
How does that help? The US has forfeiture agreements with most countries now.
Then we Americans have no control over the future that the world’s voters who will continue moving here by the tens of millions, will be imposing on us.
Exactly! The smartest thing I ever heard about the war on drugs, although I cannot recall who said it, is “You do not get to choose if drugs are sold in your community. The only choice you get is who sells them; either the pharmacist or the gangbanger.”
you read what you write?
Different standards of proof. Any arrest charges would have to be dropped, but the person would still have to “prove” their money was not illegal.
Of course I do, do you read what you write?
Can you translate your post into something that has meaning?
Here’s a prime example from this past February. Man acquitted of all charges, gov’t still keeps the cash:
IOWA CITY (AP) An appeals court says Iowa government officials can keep $33,000 in cash seized from a man later acquitted of possessing marijuana.
The Iowa Court of Appeals says the traffic stop that led to the arrest of Robert Pardee was pretextual but didnt violate his rights.
Pardee was the passenger in a California-plated vehicle stopped by a trooper on Interstate 80 in 2012 as part of an interdiction program that pulls over vehicles for minor traffic violations for the purpose of searching for illicit drugs.
Troopers found a small amount of marijuana, $33,100 cash and drug ledgers listing amounts sold, prices and names of buyers. Pardee was charged with possession of marijuana, but later acquitted.
The court is upholding a judge who found the money was tied to a criminal offense.
This is really simple. 11 million wetbacks have a phony social security number, why not you?
Stop civil asset forfeiture, and have drug pushers executed.
