I hear you and get that it sucks and an inconvenience but is it that big a deal if it is legal money? Imean all you have to do is show proof. And if it's NOT legal money then that's on you moving sloppy.

You don't get do overs when your in the game...gotta be on point.
it's the principle. the burden of proof should be on the accuser, not the accused. with this, you're basically assumed guilty until proven innocent. Also, proving it's legal money is not always so simple.

i remember watching this video of some young man (late teens/early 20s) who got all his life savings one day (i think something like 15k in cash) and decided to move to head out to another state in his car. police stops him, seizes his money and he has to prove it's legal money. now i forgot what his story was but i remember it sounded reasonable why he didn't have proof so they kept his money. granted, riding around with that kind of cash wasn't the wisest thing, why should a man have to prove his money is legal? why should a man have to pay for lawyers and have to deal with the hassle for something you're accusing him of and yet have no proof of? what if that's his only money and the receipts are in another state and he's stranded and needed the cash he was carrying for the next day? sometimes it could be a big deal even if you're innocent.

He and I have had our own issues here in this very IG(go back in the posts) but I hope he prevails in this regard. The government has the deck stacked against him because he knows the truth about their wicked ways. They have made it difficult for him and others of his ilk to return to their once grand exalted status, legally. How do you go from being an "Emperor" to now a "commoner" and not feel some type of way? This would be difficult for anyone in any walk of life. There are no more "Bosses" in Los Angeles that can provide the type of leadership and/or opportunities to where you can still have your "royal" name/status intact and still work at keeping it up while being under someone else's leadership. Suge was THE LAST to be able to provide this opportunity. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube will NEVER ruffle corporate feathers and aren't willing to take a chance at this because ______ and ______ wouldn't allow them to do so. Big U doesn't have that "industry" yet to provide this service and his right hand, T.I., doesn't have the cache in L.A. to call shots without him. In this particular case, Ross was only caught with $100k but yet the U.S. government has yet to have a conversation with actor Don Johnson when he was caught with $8 BILLION DOLLARS in the trunk of his car at the border of Switzerland and Germany in which he proclaimed was for movie "financing"(YEAH RIGHT!!). Alas, Ross nor any other African American former Boss, do possess the "complexion for the protection" as let's say a person of Hispanic decent. So there in lies the quandary of how do you get back to your "royal birthright" by adhering to the rules? I wish I knew...

==============================
I looked the Don Johnson story up, thought for sure he mistyped billion. But, damn, he really did get caught with 8 Billion in the trunk. Guesses on names? I'm thinking one is Jimmy Iovine.


Also, check out this vid on civil forfeiture, you can see how shytty it is.
