The money belongs to Tara Mishra, 33, of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., who began putting aside her earnings when she started dancing at age 18, according to an opinion U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon wrote last week. The money was meant to start her business and get out of the stripping business, the judge wrote." Poor woman. Worked her butt off in not the nicest of places and the cops thought they had just bought themselves some new cruisers and new battle gear. I am so sick of corruption and the new "uniformed revenue collectors". I wonder how long it will take her to get her money back? How much you wanna bet they drag it out.... Yeah sure...."Oh it might have been drug money" but we all know there was more than upstanding legal intent here. I bet the cops were jizzing their drawers...

questionmark Posted July 24, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Anybody who carries a million around in hard cash faces impounding. Legal money is normally not carried around in such quantities. Then it is up to a judge to return it (and up to the IRS to determine whether you paid taxes on it). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However...Having large amounts of cash is not illegal...this in and of itself is a type of profiling...which is ILLEGAL.

Kowalski Posted July 24, 2013 #8 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Very-very good point. She did NOT have to submit and what was their probable cause? Probable cause: Probable cause is the legal standard by which a police officer has the right to make an arrest, conduct a personal or property search, or obtain a warrant for arrest. While many factors contribute to a police officer’s level of authority in a given situation, probable cause requires facts or evidence that would lead areasonable person to believe that a suspect has committed a crime. Common examples of probable cause include the sight or smell of contraband in plain view or plain smell, or an admission of guilt for a specific crime. The presentation of any of these facts would allow an officer to perform a search and make an arrest. Be aware that minor traffic violations (e.g. speeding, broken tail-light, or expired registration) are not considered probable cause. What probable cause means to you While there are certain situations where police need a warrant to search you or your property — during a traffic stop, police only need probable cause to legally search your vehicle. The major exception to the probable cause requirement for vehicle searches is consent. Most vehicle searches don’t occur because police have probable cause. They occur because people get tricked or intimidated into consenting to search requests. Consenting to a search request automatically makes the search legal in the eyes of the law. And the 4th Amendment doesn’t require officers to tell you about your right to refuse. So if you’re pulled over, don’t try to figure out whether or not the officer has probable cause to legally search you. You always have the right to refuse search requests by stating, “Officer, I don’t consent to any searches.” Repeat, if necessary. If you refuse consent but the officer searches you anyway and finds illegal items, your lawyer can file a motion to suppress — or throw out — the evidence in court. If the judge agrees that the officer’s search violated the 4th Amendment’s probable cause requirements, she’ll grant the motion. Unless the prosecution has other evidence, your charges would be dismissed.

And, as sorry as I am to say this, if somebody wants to pay me $10,000 in cash I would be very suspicious. There are better ways, such as a draft note.

Jeremiah65 Posted July 24, 2013 Author #12 Share Posted July 24, 2013 This brings up a very interesting point and possible conversation. What "if" you don't trust the modern American banking system? It might be considered a "little" paranoid but not totally unfounded. So, what do you do with your liquid assets? IF she had put it in a banking system...what would she have had to do for it to be protected? Isn't the FDIC insurance only good up to $250,000.00 now? She would have had to open accounts in 4 totally separate banks. That is....if she wanted to be totally protected....I know I would. Gold, silver, platinum? That's not totally stable either. You could buy gold at $1,400.00 today and it be $1,375.00 tomorrow and $1,300.00 in 3 days....volatility is not your friend....Sure, you MIGHT buy at $1,400.00 today and it be $1,425.00 tomorrow...but I personally would not want to take that risk. If I had a million in liquid assets...I would be inclined to keep it "liquid". So....what would YOU do? Nice conversation I think....not like I personally will ever be confronted with this dilemma...but a nice theoretical situation nonetheless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremiah65 Posted July 24, 2013 Author #19 Share Posted July 24, 2013 To answer a couple in here at once... I also would like to know how she "proved" she saved it...lap dance for the judge? (Bad form but still funny!) And Q-mark is also correct...if these were dancer "tips"....how can she prove she paid taxes on it? I knew strippers way back in the day (been married almost 25 years) but I'm pretty sure these women earn every damn dime...grubby nasty drunk butth0les pawing all over them.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You perhaps have never participated in the "underground" subculture? Trust is something that is simply non-existent. Why would I trust the criminals on Wall Street? We saw just a few years ago they can rob you blind and walk...no charges. Why would I trust the banking system?....we have witnessed on the world stage that they can give you a "haircut" with zero notice. Why would you trust a volatile commodity like precious metals? Can drop in a minute...or less. Diamonds? Buy one and then try to sell it....you will lose at LEAST 40-50% in 30 seconds.

Not if it comes to money you have, since the Racketeering Laws you have to prove that you have gotten it legally and paid your taxes on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
