"street roll"?

The correct answer is, "Because it's not against the law."

I like how the article skips from the quote to the details of his court date as if inferring whatever happened next is known or can be construed by the readers.

Street Roll (new window)

$1600 is not a lot of cash

1595?

can't even pay the rent with that.

Jack Black 62: Ah yes. Having a large amount of cash is a crime in Amerika. Free country my ass!

It's only a crime cause the cops know you're gonna spend it on drug shiat. It's called Pre-Crime.

After saying "I don't have a job, read between the lines." He should have swung the monkey and made a run for it.
/still suprise no BJ and the Bear ref.
//or any which way but lose.

Gig103: $1595 is "such a large amount of cash"? I expected it to be 10x that amount to be worth a mention.

I've known people who were harassed by cops for having a few hundred dollars on them.

Just how much cash does the average farker carry on his person on a regular day???

Apparently in addition to the "internet tough guy" there's the "internet gangsta thousandaire".

That said, either the guy was monumentally stupid to consent to the search or the
permission was made up. It was either that or invent some probable cause.

And the correct answer to the question is - "I want my lawer.".

Maybe it's the hyper-cynic in me operating on too little coffee, but "why do you have so much cash on you" sounds like soliciting a bribe to me.

As if the "correct" answer was "No clue, really. Why, would you like some?"

So do like I do. Keep a $20 bill in your wallet in case you ever have to deliver a pizza. And pay with your ATM/debit card every where else.

Oh wait you NEED DRUGS.

If a cop asks you "why you have such a large amount of cash", The correct answer is NONE OF YOUR farkING BUSINESS.

Yeah, you might get shiat for it but thats the correct answer.

Honest Bender: The correct answer is, "Because it's not against the law."

Such pre-WoD thinking.

"Yeah, you might get shiat for it but thats the correct answer"

Meh, I'd have a pre-prepared story unless I had a bank receipt, etc. Why poke the gorilla with a stick?

That said, I sold a motorcycle recently for 6k cash. Felt real weird driving across town with it to the bank, even with documentation.

No the correct answer is it doesn't matter what I say about the money because you already caught me with the cocaine.

He could have cleaned out his bank account.... On account of having no job. He could have called in the loans owed him, he.could have borrowed from his moms, he could.have emptied.out the matress..... When i read between the lines i dont jump immediately to "drug dealer".....

Absolutely no other reason to have more money on you than 20 dollars. Nope.

People who jump from "you are doing something legal right now." to "which means that you're GOING to do something illegal later, obviously." just need to have that thinking bite them in the ass once.

There was a time before ATM/Debit cards were so prevalent, and there were people that didn't like paying with checks or using credit cards, that when they went shopping they carried the amount of money that they planned to spend with them. And some people still today who don't have bank accounts still carry large amounts of cash to pay for things or they get paid for doing legitimate work in cash. Not everybody has the same situation as you.

Even if the guy didn't consent to the search they would have held him there and got a warrant to search the car anyway. Plus he probably consented to the search because he didn't have anything on him. After all the only thing they found was "cocaine residue" in his glove box, and they arrested him for that and having $1595 in cash. What kind of ridiculousness is that?

A hundred and fifty thousand dollars???

What's a punk like you doing with fifteen thousand dollars?

Fifteen hundred dollars plus a scale with white stuff on it?

You're going to jail, punk.

Which means he's guilty.

Which means everything he owns is now considered "ill-gotten gains" and is confiscated by the State without due process - car, home, boat, wife, children's kidneys and livers - all will be sold at police auction.

There's a big difference between carrying $1000+ from a legitamite transaction. Then $1000+ from an illegal transaction. The difference is in your brain. And cops can read it. If you're interested in more. Why don't you try telling a lie to someone. And they detect it right away. It's not whether you are a good liar or not. It's whether if the other person is interested in having sex with u.

You don't find that disheartening, that our current legal system made you feel guilty for carrying your own cash around?

He didn't SAY he felt guilty. He said he FELT WEIRD> CAUSE HE DOESNT HAVE THE VIBRATOR UNDER HIS ASS ANYMORE.

Which is of course up to you and some street cop to decide. Nope not a judge or a jury, forget the constitution. If you think it's illegitimate then dammit it is. I'm sure you've got some primo intuition, you should become a cop and solve all the crime in the country by your deductive powers alone.

Not everybody excepts checks or debit cards. If I go to somebody's house to buy a TV, they probably aren't going to take a check. And their job isn't to hassle people for doing legal things, like carrying around money with them.

Really? Opinions are probable cause now? I feel safer already knowing they can steal the money in my pocket on a whim.
