You&#x27;re correct that it is not wise to carry that much cash. However, we are allowed to do it. We are allowed to carry cash on us. I personally wouldn&#x27;t do it unless I didn&#x27;t have any other options, but for someone to have their money taken from them without evidence that it was derived from criminal activity is really messed up. And this isn&#x27;t the first time that civil forfeiture has been used to deprive law abiding citizens of their property.
