I certainly would be very mad if this happened to me. The man was carrying $22,000 in cash to buy his car, and the police confiscated it for no reason. It then took him 4 months to get his money back. Personally, the pig, I mean cop, who did this is nothing but a gangster looking thug with tats on his neck. Unfortunately, that is what we have now for police these days.

Actually I think the is a law that you can not carry over ten thousand dollars in cash with you. (not joking)

Had this person known he could have gone with two friends and dispersed the cash among the three to get it under the ten thousand limit.

No, there is no such law. You can carry as much cash on you as you want. I think you are referring to the law that any transaction over $10,000 has to be reported to the IRS.

For some reason I think I remember there was a law about that, but what you are complaining about is more typical than you probably knew.

It's now illegal to carry cash? - Opinion - ReviewJournal.com

Two things - don't talk to the cops - and don't give consent to search of your vehicle.

Even know he gave consent and they found nothing illegal, the thug cop still took his money. Honestly, this scares the hell out of me.
