[http://www.cleveland.com/printer/printer.ssf?/base/opinion/1206001957245730.xml&coll=2&thispage=2](http://www.cleveland.com/printer/printer.ssf?/base/opinion/1206001957245730.xml&coll=2&thispage=2) here’s a real winner right here: While criminal forfeiture requires that a property owner be found guilty of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt, civil forfeiture does not require that the owner even be accused of a crime, much less convicted. The government proceeds directly against the property it wants to take, which means owners are not entitled to any of the protections they would receive if they were accused of a crime. _sigh_ awesome ---

Thank you. having at least one person get the point is worth it. this is the precursor for global tracking. i dont want to sound like im paranoid or a conspiracy but, but its what it seems like to me. cash is hard to track(its basically impossible) so theyre tryin to do away with it without saying “we cant keep track of cash you drones use. so quit using that and use plastic so we know whos doing what at all times” ---

> [@votblindub](#): > > i guess ill keep having to move to a place that just sucks a bit less. but admit it, thats an asinine law Please do. The whining about nothing from you hippies is extraordinary. Please note people that the police can CHOOSE to seize your cash, they do not have to. The law is for drug dealers and gangsters. If you’re a white dude, or dare I say, a minority that doesnt look like a hood rat causing trouble, you have nothing to worry about. I just drove through FL w/ $3500 in cash on me with a decent reason for it. Is a cop going to seize it? No, because I’m not raping babies or shooting up coke. ---

True… Not to mention if your not doing something stupid, you arent gonna get pulled over in the first place. So if you have 10k cash on you, don’t do something to get pulled over. They don’t have cash radar and pull people w/ bricks of money over, they pull you over for something else, and find an awkwardly large amount of money on you then it looks worse. I mean i drive like a dick sometimes, but if i knew i had drugs, alcohol, guns, bricks of cash, i’d probably just drive normal. ---

They need reasonable suspicious to search you or the car. If they have it, AND they find 10k in cash on you then ask, why do you have this moeny and your excuse is shit… they take it and probably arrest you. ---

Cute. You have to be an idiot to have huge cash on you for no reason at all. They’ll seize my cash, I’ll drop by the police station and get it back with a thank you. If the law works right, for every law-abiding citizen they mildly trouble, they’ll stop 1000 drug transactions. And it will be RARE seeing that cops are only going to seize cash from SUSPICIOUS PEOPLE. Are you the same guy that bitches about airport security too?
