Driver sues feds after they search cab, confiscate $23,000 in cash

He should have declared he had it in his possession.

 

I find this hard to believe that thats what the DOT asked him,I have never been asked that question.

Plus I would never allow the search. And for all you "what do you have to hide"people...........NOTHING.........

Ask me what your looking for and I will let you know if I have it.

 

I read the article as he was crossing the border, without declaring he had the cash.

That's a no-no

 

He wasn't crossing the border,He was at a scale in New Mexico.

And he did say he had the money.

 

Then he should get his moolah back. I know he said he does not trust banks, but there has to be a better place to keep your dough. Especially after it has been broadcast to the world that he has big bucks on board.

 

That is totally unacceptable. NO WHERE is it illegal to carry more than $10K, let alone $23.7k

I have a rule I follow: If they wish to search my truck, they have to do so totally nude. NOT that I want to see a nude fat balding sweatty man in my truck (besides me), but if they want to search, they aren't gonna take anything in there with them.

 

You can't cross the border without a declaration for more than 10k. You could have 2 million in your truck as long as you don't cross into the U.S. with it.

 

I hope he gets $1,000,000 in damages!!!!
