The Canadian government has had to warn its citizens not to carry cash to the USA because the USA does not presume innocence but guilt when it comes to money. Over $2.5 billion has been confiscated from Canadians traveling to the USA funding the police who grab it.

If you are bringing cash to the land of the free, you will find that saying really means they are FREE to seize all your money under the pretense you are engaged in drugs with no evidence or other charges. It costs more money in legal fees to try to get it back so it is a boom business for unethical lawyers to such an extent than only one in sixth people ever try to get their money back and the cops just pocket it. That's right. Money confiscated is usually allowed to be kept by the department who confiscated it. This is strangely working its way into funding police and pensions. This is identical to the very issue that resulted in the final collapse of Rome when the armies began to sack cities to pay for their pensions. We are at that level now with respect to seizing whatever they want knowing you will have to spend more in legal fees to assert your rights that do not really exist.

Those trying to flee tyranny elsewhere can not bring money with them for the police get to take it on this end. This pretend war on terrorism is really a wholesale war against the people. It serves as the justification to seize whatever they desire ever since 9/11 as reported by the Washington Post.

Dumb article, but police seizures are pretty bollocks.

Wait so I shouldn't carry a suitcase with $15,000 worth of $20 bills?

I know! This inconveniences the hell out of people! And especially don't carry it with a kilo of coke...keep the money and drugs separate!

Nor should you get too hung up on that whole private property/ unreasonable seizure thing.

It's hard to sacrifice our rights in the name of the War on Drugs; but at least we're winning that war.

Yes, by making it legal.

It's not won until i get the cocaine back in my coca cola.

Unfortunately, this is nothing new.

The Reagan-era War on Drugs policies has been seizing personal property, in blatant disregard for the 4th amendment, for more than three decades.

Hell, that goes back at least to Nixon; and you can argue even back to Coolidge.

That doesn't make it right.

Thus proving my point.  You can thank Ronald Reagan and the "War on Drugs" for this blatant disregard for the constitution.

Fourth amendment?  Due process?  Not in today's America!

The only blatant disregard for the constitution comes from statists like you who love Uncle Sam threatening anyone for cash in the name of fairness and equalization. Ameritopia, here we come!

"Not in today's America!"   Exactly - brought to you by democrats everywhere in the name of non-existent racialism and identity politics. Keep that "boot" on everyone's throat!

Wrong as usual.

These policies were instituted by the right-winger's patron saint, Ronald Reagan, through his War on Drugs The Working Poor.

[Soup DeVille]

Neither side of the aisle has exactly been pro-liberty. The left whines about the plight of the poor, but just uses it as an excuse to expand the intrusiveness of government. The right does the same under the guise of being tough on crime.

Arguing which side is trying to fuck us most is like choosing between a kick in the balls and a punch in the face.

Hey! Looks like Eric Holder got a f'n clue. I guess if you bash an idiot in the head hard enough and long enough....

Oh, Wacky Klacky, do I have to remind you how all this unconstitutional Civil Asset Forfeiture nonsense kicked into high gear waaay back during Ronald (and don't forget that bitch Nancy, either) Reagan's War on Drugs in the 1980's.  So nice of Reagan and the Repugs to toss that pesky Fourth Amendment into the trash just because it didn't suit their agenda.

I agree putting an end to this form of legalised theft is long overdue.  Better late than never.

Yes, you have to remind me R&766eag&a^5n and Nan*%09)y        and Rea(*&%*gan Bit^&*5ch Nancy... and also R E A G A N
