Research asset forfeiture cases.....my buddy sold his 69 Camaro to a guy in AZ....on the drive back....he was pulled over for burnt out tail light....they requested to search the vehicle....he stupidly let them....he is not a dope user but, they had a drug dog that allegedly "keyed up" on the envelop with $28K in cash....the cash was seized....he fought for months to get it back...had a notarized statement from the buyer....Email paper trails of the transaction but, because of the distances involved, he had to hire a lawyer....by the time everything was finished he was out between $4-5K in expenses to get HIS MONEY back. I just recently sold a car on Craigslist....met the buyer at a bank...he wrote me a check and said I could cash it right there for cash....I elected to get a bank check instead as I didn't want to do the tax declaration forms when depositing the $$ into my bank. I freaked out a seller once when I met them to buy their 2008 Audi RS4....I had $24K in cash plus my bank check...they didn't want to deal with the cash...had to wait until a local bank that worked with mine opened up to convert the cash into a check for them....Big Brother is WATCHING US!
