Don’t ever carry a lot of cash on a plane

[jjgold]

The feds will confiscate and it’s virtually impossible to prove where you got it from especially if it’s gambling and if you do, it’ll be tied up for years

 

[BMR Genie]

Just bring the allowed amount to avoid the hassle. Know the airport rules before flying.

 

[BMR Genie]

Imagine you have a lot of money and your only problem is how to transfer/carry it. How I wish I had this kind of problem, JJ.

That is exactly what they are. Stories.

You can get a check you know.

I would always take the cash and rent a car drive it back home, make it a cross country trip of some sort.

Of course. But " winning guys losing 100,00.00 and never get it back?"

More JJ Fairytales.

This is actually a real thing. I try not to travel with too much cash. If it's over 30k I would drive.
And if someone other than the TSA asks to search you at an airport, call your lawyer.

I have my share run ins at customs in America and in different countries, they can make your life a living hell.

Driving has its own problems.
If a cop pulls you over and searches your car, they will aslo confiscate your money without cause.

They will claim that it appears to be for drugs without any proof. They do this because the police department will eventually get to keep the money. Just like money taken at the airport, you have to fight to get it back and usually you lose.

I’m not worried about that because I have never in my life been pulled over and have been asked to search my car for any reason.

Physically fight?

Just be a Karen

They can’t search your car without PC, having money isn’t a justifiable reason to have RS

It happens a lot in Lousiana. Lots of stories of people having their life savings taken for a traffic stop.

Or how about “don’t ever carry a lot of cash”.

I’ve said it many times - certain agencies are known for being very aggressive with seizures - even assuming you have a 100% honest force that doesn’t dip a little themselves - they will put the burden back on you to prove it’s not illegally gotten gains.

Because guess what - those confiscated funds are added to department budgets. A lot of frivolous expenses get paid courtesy of confiscated cash and goods.

If anyone can explain to me what practical use a bunch of local police have with heavy equipment surplus from the military for example - I’m all ears. It’s ridiculous the level of gear some local sheriffs have around here - all courtesy of US Government surplus and taxpayers - gifted to some certificate holder from a community college who wants to play army and get paid - without having to join the army and do any of the military stuff or risk getting shot at in a real conflict.

Ever hear of CHECKS or BANK WIRE?
