For those who didn&#x27;t RTFA, he carried his life savings with him <i>in cash</i>. We&#x27;ve seen several stories like this: person has $xx,xxx in cash on them like that&#x27;s just a normal thing to do. Bad thing happens. Person is incredulous. No one thinks they have any culpability for opting to carry $10k+ in cash over vastly safer and free alternatives.<p>That doesn&#x27;t excuse the seizure, but I don&#x27;t see how it&#x27;s worth our time to get mad about people experiencing bad outcomes when they take stupid risks.<p>There are many other examples that make a better case against civil asset forfeiture.
