fukk carrying paper money. I don't carry paper money unless I plan on using it immediately or I know a place doesn't allow card. Make a damn bank account its damn near free and it isn't hard to do. Now that the dude had that shyt taken he is assed out 11k but if his ass had a damn card it wouldn't of been taken and if his shyt got lost or stolen he could cancel that shyt before he lost any money. We really need more financial courses growing up now more than ever.

Anything over ten k can get seized

Know your rights

They can take whatever they want

I am truly shocked at the amount of you condoning government sanctioned robbery.

FYI 11,000 in cash is NOT a lot of money. If you run any cash based business you routinely have to do bank drops with far more than 11,000 on you.

I've been to auto auctions and property auctions that are cash only and multiple 50k+ sales were made. It's pretty standard and he did nothing wrong.

They just picked an easy mark, period. Black, no knowledge of the law, no family attorney on retainer, and was probably visibly shook when they questioned him.

before i watched the video i was like i thought holder put a stop to cops stopping you and taking your money. then i watched the video. this kid was none too bright ... go to an airport smelling like weed with 11k. yeah they are a$$holes, but you all need to look at these fukks like the criminals they are and just like you take precautions in everyday life to protect yourself from criminals, protect yourself from these legal criminals ... anyways back to holder.

In January, Holder barred local and state police from using federal law to seize cash and other property without warrants or criminal charges, unless federal authorities were directly involved in the case.In January, Holder barred local and state police from using federal law to seize cash and other property without warrants or criminal charges, unless federal authorities were directly involved in the case.

where he fukked up was going to the airport smelling like weed, now the DEA is involved because of some TSA rent a cop calling them in. everything is already stacked against us, don't be dumb out there brehs. i can't help that kind of stupid. having said all of that, there should be some kind of stipulation with civil asset forfeitures that if charges are dropped then you need to get your money back, regardless of how stupid someone is.

in the past (before january) if he was traveling on the interstate local pigs would take people's (of all races) money so they could buy toys. one 50 something white man was going to buy a car from an ebay seller, had the printout of his winning bid with him and the tennessee police took his 20+ grand. another case i read about the nevada police seized some asian dudes life savings that he was taking to cali to start a business just because he could. that kind of shyt is history now, but not the airport. please brehs, be smart out there.

btw, i can't have my money burning up with me if the plane goes down. at least if it's in my bank account someone i love will get that shyt.
