He goes through the scanner at airport security, and when his back goes through, they pull him asside and take him and his bag to a room and ask him to explain the cash. I don't remember which Federal agency it was. Could have been DEA. They brought a dog, asked him if he had a car at the airport, blah, blah, blah. They tell him he can get on his flight, but the money is being seized. Long story short, it took a year and about $8K in legal costs to get his $23K back from the government. Needless to say, he didn't go to Kansas City or buy the car. I remember it so well because I was supposed to go with him for a road trip, but I couldn't get off work.

Thinking he was being mugged, the kid ran, and was subsequently tackled and beaten by the men. They turned out to be federal agents looking for some other guy. It was a case of mistaken identity. The plainclothes agent then proceeded to show their badges to the kid as well as the crowd of onlookers, ordering them to delete any recordings under penalty of arrest. The kid was transported to the hospital with multiple injuries. He tried (and is still trying) to sue for excessive force. Unfortunately, the feds' qualified immunity has proven to be insurmountable.

State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529. The Court stated: “Where the officer is killed in the course of the disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the transaction, when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from what it does if the officer had no right. What may be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might show that no offense had been committed.”

Now people desperate for help are losing their lives by turning to the streets for unbearable physical pain. If you need surgery be prepared to suffer horribly after you leave the hospital. Most doctors won't write pain prescriptions while most pharmacies cannot get the needed pain medications, due to the ridiculous shenanigans based on current government policy. It appears to be the administration's plan for dealing with rising medical costs, funding foreign wars, and increasing their private offshore account balances, instead of containing or reining in corporate greed within the US.

State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529. The Court stated: “Where the officer is killed in the course of the disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the transaction, when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from what it does if the officer had no right. What may be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might show that no offense had been committed.”

@@Jaystarzgaming You wouldn't believe how many times I have heard things like "rights have to be earned" or "being a slave is certainly better than being homeless" or "the government should make everyone join the military." The Constitution was a fairly simple covenant. The role of the government is a limited one all the way up the chain (which consists of civil servants); we do not get our rights as a courtesy -- it exists as a promise to honor the rights of its People; those rights are inalienable, and we defend ourselves for that cause as opposed to international campaigns of global hegemony.

The agent says at one point they wouldn’t be doing this across the country if it was illegal. That is basically admitting himself there is widespread corruption within the agency.

It's quite common that police don't actually know the law in any detail. They are just following policies of the police department or city. I would not be surprised that this agent doesn't know the laws related to this. Especially in terms of how the Constitution may or may not be interpreted in this scenario.
