Most of us aren’t drug people, so for many of us truly the only things we use cash for are sex and the occasional quasI-legal food truck where they don’t take cash.

With licensing, fewer and fewer such food trucks exist, so cash equals commercial sex, hence the erection upon seeing cash.

On a big picture scale, let’s be realistic here.

It is unfortunate that the country (the U.S.) that supposedly invented civil liberties practices so few of them, but these police seizures in the video are at specific gates for specific flights and targeted at Black men with duffel bags and large backpacks. So try not to be a Black man with a duffel bag flying those routes. Or driving a tinted window SUV in the general vicinity of Mexico.

The guy with an envelope in his front pocket (that he put in his front pocket after transferring it from his carry-on after running the carry-on through airport security) isn’t hassled about what is in his front pocket at the gate in the 0.005 percent chance of a gate search if he is Black of Hispanic or the 0.000000000000000001 percent chance of a gate search if he is Caucasian. And even high U.S. sex worker prices don’t necessitate that cash being enough to be seized if found. It can be explained as walking around money. If seeing many ladies, there are an abundance of free checking accounts at the thousands of banks in the U.S. So you carry five ATM/Debit cards in your backpack with Daily Cash withdrawal limits of $300-$500 each.

We realize that police departments in the U.S. partially finance themselves through cash seizures, so we learn to not tempt them. It keeps us safer from robbers and muggers, too.

You would think that sex workers would be the ones to bitch the most about our cashless society, since they have to figure out what to do with the damn cash, but they don’t. They just learn how to adapt and work with what the world now gives us, which in the U.S. is a close association between cash and illegal activity.

Definitely nerdy, but I sometimes enjoy watching retail transactions and seeing how many occur before anyone uses cash. Not only is it a long time, but the self-checkouts at the grocery stores, which is well over half of the transactional activity, requires them to stick crumpled dollars through a little slot in the machine.
So plastic for everything? Tracing all of your transactions all over town. Except for the custody risk, cash is good to use...

What do you expect from people who elect a grifter mob boss-type as president of their country?
This has been going on since Bush. Maybe since Clinton. It is bullshit, and the agents are incentivized to "steal" this money because they can use it for operational purposes. But it isn't just the DEA, it's local police forces and state troopers as well. America is fucked up in several major ways...

Some blame Tricky Dick (Nixon) himself, but it really picked up steam in the Reagan era.


Obama put an Executive Order in place that made federal law enforcement place a greater connection between the cash and an illegal act, but it had limited scope and adherence, and Trump rescinded it.

Canada has higher taxes than the U.S. and funds its police that way. The U.S. gets some portion of its law enforcement funding from civil forfeiture. I don’t like that, personally. But what can anyone really do? Life doesn’t work like corny after-school TV specials say it does. A few people with petitions against all the money and toys seized by law enforcement.

Cash is king. Always has been and always will be.
Good luck using credit/debit card when the internet/cell service goes down.

Thanks for the video! Look at that asshole DEA pig wearing a stupid cap and backpack.

I've always hated those POS border guys asking questions too.

Why do so many people here think just because you are carrying a large amount of money while travelling it' must be for hookers?
The federal gov't in Canada has something called Census Stat Office.
This office plus the UN has compiled a list of what people do or who they are. Pretty much they have labels for all ethnics and animals.

I spoke to a nurse and she gave me a statement saying hookers use illegal drugs so we won't take their blood. Where did she get such info?
Census Stat Office. The Gov't has their employees trained to be introverts.

Pretty much the Gov't has labels for all kinds of people. Like Gov't employees don't drink, master level 4 for English. etc.

I am no conspiracy person but when you see and hear woke things it makes the mind wonder.
