A new form of "highway robbery". Theft is a crime, even when the police do it too. Changing the terms, does not justify it. They are guilty of robbery, just like anyone else would be.
Welcome to the Gestapo. The DEA is an organization that is SPECIFICALLY forbidden by The Constitution of The United States and has been operating illegally since it's creation. So ask yourself this: how can an illegal organization legally take anything???????
Just love how there is no law against having large amounts of money on your person but "its usual and suspicious" if you do so therefore has to be drug money
She did get her money back... "The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will return more than $43,000 it seized from a Tampa woman at an airport after she joined a class-action lawsuit challenging the agency's practice of using civil asset forfeiture to confiscate cash from travelers." I wonder what the outcome of that class action suit was...or, if it's still going on.
Yeah, but just think about all the people who didn't have money to fight or like individual I just read about over $15,000 he just eventually gave up as after trying to fight to get his money back. Believe it or not the count on this because depending on the amount, your situation financial, geographically it's cheaper and more emotionally/psychologically to the citizens benefit to chalk it up as a loss. Sad yes,but true also
Dear Jeff DEA is a Taxing enforcement agency who's purpose is to provide revenue to the US government. They were armed with this law to combat Drug Runners who do not pay taxes. Any cash you carry they claim that it is the proceeds of a crime. Now you are required to prove that it's not. Remember lawyers and courts cost money and the government appeals for free. Cuz they pay their lawyers to be there anyway.
She needs to sue TSA. Their job is to protect planes. Cash is no threat to a plane, so they had no business calling the DEA. Someone has already sued TSA and won so there is precedence. Also, call your representatives and urge them to vote for asset forfeiture reform.
Same crap happen to me. $15,304.00. Then I was sued for my money. Ironically I had just left the casino. They told me I was lying. A night in jail. Eleven months of going back and forth. Finally I gave up. I was in the military at the time. Took my loss and kept on moving. Lesson learned. Now I do wire transfers. The make up these laws as we go. Fun fact: if I’m in a traffic stop the cops have rights to search me or my vehicle without cause just because of that incident from 2006. Back in 2006 I was told if I let them condemn the money they would dismiss my case and it wouldn’t affect me in no type of way. Wrong!!! I’ve been searched 6 times since 2006.
Fact is they Do not have right to search car because of that prior incident/or any other prior incident or even crime. It seems that way because we don't know the law most times and they violate it so often as if what they do is legal. Check out "We The People" and other associated sights. Sign up for Abiyah Isreals free emails giving you info on your rights/how to protect them during any police encounter. He is former police/sheriff's officer.
Yeah. Congress needs to change how the law is abused throughout the continental United States. This can also happen if you are driving your car and stopped by law enforcement. I saw this explained on Lehtos Law you tube video. You then have to prove your innocence to get your money back at your legal expense.
That because they are ScumBag,Power tripping,Thug,Bullies Disrespecting/Abusing their authority under the color of law. These citizens sold their vehicle,a Maserati I should note which clearly would justify the amount of cash for a vehicle about that year. Shame Shame and Shame once again for this corrupt legal system we. To add insult to injury they have to spend $5,000-$10,000 or more to get their own legally aquired money back. Many times people may not have the money to pursue getting it back or situation where they are arrested whether legally, unlawfully/unjustified and it's made difficult and or impossible to fight back.I am sure these poor folks look at law enforcement in a new and different light now.
I know of one account where they confiscated $3,000 from a friend at the Atlanta Airport because it was in a " suspicious denominations". They left him with no money.
it’s simple they see the people as an ATM without having to do any work & they know there’s not many people who can fight to get back whatever they take often the one taking it will openly say sue us in court.
It's corrupt the government is corrupt ok.. it's a new scam.. I was thinking .. why now this new operating system going around why now.. think if it.. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Sue the TSA AGENT and the DEA, TSA had no business notifying the DEA to her cash as it doesn't cause a security risk to the flight and that is the ONLY authority the TSA has and you can sue them for violating your rights.
@@cleopatradawn7821 I've had this happen flying to India where a slight bulge came up in the body scanner. They are NOT just metal detectors anymore but body scanners.
Nobody declares it because the corrupt police will take it regardless it you have paystubs etc. they will make you prove it in court, and majority of people don’t try because it cost more to get it back and the police know it. And police wonder why no one wants to help them.
Fedcoin will be rolled out prior to Jan 1, 2021 said Federal Reserve. Once they ban cash in favor of Fedcoin they can literally turn your "money" off with the click of a mouse. That's what the coin shortage is all about. Forcing coins out of your dusty piggy banks so they find their way back home to the FED.
no its not illegal to carry cash, its illegal for them to seize your propery, but they do it anyway because there are no meaningful consequences. Dont carry much cash. If they find it th ey will steal it. If you put it in the bank they will steal it. I dont know what the solution is. Vote for constitutional conservatives. Thats about all you can do.
If the police want they will take it. They will make you send a waiver of the money if they let you go (no arrest). Everyone in the government is aware of this but this is how the police fund themselves.
SHE Should have kept a couple thousand and boxed up the rest and shipped it via UPS to her home. NOTHING Lost! With so much of the GASTOPO and STATE STORM TROOPERS working in Airports I prefer to have my luggage shipped by freight- its faster and safer. ;-)

The FinCEN 105 form is supposed to be used when carrying $10,000 or more in cash on an airliner. (I'm not sure whether this applies to domestic flights, though.)
@@thomasmccormack9515 it’s all suspicious, but truth is a lot people don’t trust banks. Sorry carrying over 10k happens all the time. In todays age that’s not a lot of money, the government just wants to track everything you do.
What the attorney didn't tell you is whenever you take an amount of money from state to state or International. You have to get an appointment with TSA so that you can show proof where the money came from a paper trail. Receipts from your bank that you took it out of your work employment. They want to see a paper trail . There Gonna think it's drug money or Money launding (illegal). So you have to get an appointment before you go through TSA check in your bags... So many people don't know the law or rules I said they want to see a paper trail of that money. And if you can't provide it will be Confiscated And you won't get it back
I'm pretty sure there's a form that can be filled out prior to traveling reporting the cash you're going to be flying with that will keep them from confiscating it. However, If it's under $10,000, I was under the impression they should just give you a pass?
Its best not to bring that amount of cash when your traveling ! Ever ! These DEA agents are the worst ! I never bring that much cash to the airport when traveling the most is $150.00 and that ! use credit cards debt cards etc..
My wife wants to drag me and our kids to Russia because she is sick of all this crap! A lot of people are seeing the US is turning into a police state.
Slush fund for the government. I seem to remember something about you cannot be deprived of you property without due process of law? Maybe I made this up?

It's been happening for some time.
Steal a little and they'll throw you in jail, steal alot and they'll make you king
I agree.
Nothing new about this, the government has made this legal to steal your money a long time ago

It's also a way to FIRCE people into the "digital currency" economy by TAKING any cash they have on them under the fake BS that it's drug money!!

Question to ask is how much money the agent get in bonus for each sieze?
Thay do there corrupt all of them..
Never ever carry large amounts of cash when there is a possibility of encountering criminals, including regular criminals and gubment criminals.

I would be very tempted to tow 1 of the DEA's vehicles & when asked about it tell I have no idea what you're talking about if asked.
