  Yeah you are guilty unless you can prove otherwise. WTF
context: But we definitely need a boars defense force! >
  
  Why is no one else talking about the grave threat boars are to America?!? >
  
  Big Boar is in the pocket of politicians. >
  
  Never travel anywhere with cash. Your local police department would love to buy a margarita maker with your “drug money” >
  
  They want paperwork for anything over 10k. Ridiculous if you ask me >
  
  Yup. If dude filled out a FinCEN-105 form he could have stated any range of perfectly acceptable reasons (true or not) and they wouldn't have been able to get shit on him. They didn't bust him for the cash, they got him on the technicality of not having declared it. And from there justified a search of his messages and found that he mentioned drugs in a conversation (however they're interpreting that) sometime prior to May. Now they get to seize it despite no crime having been proved. 
  
  Right now no criminal charges have been filed, but Kimble said the investigation is likely ongoing.
  “I think it is premature to say whether there will be charges or just the forfeiture,” Kimble said
  
  Translation "If we can't prove a crime, at least we got your money, bitch!" >
  
  Does that apply to domestic flights? I get the impression this was a domestic flight, though I haven't been able to find out if that is the case. It did say he had flown back and forth between California and the East Coast dozens of times so I assumed this was another such case. >
  
  The form, no. FinCen 105 is specifically for border control.
  Civil forfeiture, I believe, yes. If the government can give a reason to seize your cash, they can. >
  
  Any assets really, not just cash, and they have used some pretty spurious reasons to get it too >
  
  Better title: cops saw some cash on the security scanners and decided to take it. >
  
  I'm legit wondering whether the dogs actually detected drugs on the money or were trained to detect the money itself >
  
  Public has zero oversight on the supposed "training" of these dogs. 
  And yet lives are overturned based on just a few seconds of behavior from these dogs. >
  
  And IIRC, there were several studies that showed they were only accurate 50% of the time in many cases.
  On top of it, they can be made to alert on command by the officer to justify violating fourth amendment rights. >
  
  dyk that in this "land of the free" cops can just take your money if they think it's more than you ought to have on you?
  and that the burden of proof is reversed; you must then prove to a judge that you were not up to something nefarious >
  
  Wow, you were not kidding that it literally shifts.  
  Yo, thanks for the read! >
  
  
  Cops steal $45k in cash at airport
  
  Fixed the title.
