Hold on let me go check history, yup, yup, history says that it's very possible. Which makes one wonder, why is Israel doing this?

The problem here is the money itself has no intent. It's not walking towards a bank wearing a mask. And there's no law that says you have to use banks. It's entirely legal to cash out all of your paychecks, keep the money in your mattress, and then go pay for a car in cash. Since the great Depression there are still Americans who distrust the banking system.

To confiscate that money based solely on the fact that it's money should be illegal. It was illegal until the 1980's. Then we convinced ourselves that although we have a right to due process and high standards for searches and seizures of our property; our property itself does not have any rights and can be detained on it's own. That is, they can take your property, without charging you with any crime. They instead charge the money, house, car, etc, with the crime and you are now in the position of proving it's not criminal without any of the court protections you would have if you were charged. No jury, no free lawyer, and no assumption of innocence for the state to overcome.

If that sounds like something that could be abused, it absolutely has been. Cities have used it to clear land for development without paying for it. Some small towns are notorious for taking any bundles of cash they can from people passing through.

There is a large difference between war and genocide. The last group to say you couldn't have a war without genocide was the Serbians.

It doesn't matter. The point of the way our laws are supposed to work is that the government can't go looking at people and their stuff without suspicion. The stuff itself cannot be the suspicion unless its only common purpose is criminal. That's why a stack of money should be safe in plain sight, but not a bong.

Only if the dog is meant to detect illegal substances. The USPS system doesn't allow local police to go fishing.

I was about to watch that tonight. I just want to see the scenes where the cops realize they fucked with modern day Rambo.

That's not going to work for long. Best you're going to get is a stay until you pay. Might as well make it right with the landlord while you actually do take OFAC to small claims court. Because they'll find it then.

But also, this is what your Congress critter is for. All kinds of things get magically resolved when the congressional office of the honorable so and so makes an inquiry.

It's not illegal. It's also not illegal for the police to claim it's criminal profits and seize it. The courts decided your money, (and other property), does not enjoy the same rights you do. So you have a right against search and seizure but your money and other property does not. This does three things. It opens your stuff up to be seized without a warrant, it makes it a civil case to get your stuff back, and you have to prove you're not a criminal and your stuff wasn't used by criminals.

It is absolutely unconstitutional on the grounds that it's a naked evasion of our 4th, 5th, and 6th amendment rights. But good luck explaining that to the guys with the guns.

I continue to live in hope you will realize victim blaming the people you blow up isn't an argument.

Nah.

It's a summation, science isn't into clickbait.

No. You've had two shots at this question and both answers will do here.
