Let me fix the title: Government steals billions from air travelers.
that is exactly right
Dumb guy with multiple felony records traveling with 10k cash (above anti-trafficking threshold) gets detained. No surprises there.
@@Omikoshi78 Ya but it does not Give the Cops or the FBI the right to steal your money! than offer you a deal to get it back and it might only be 1/2 of what you get back and they hold your own money for randsome, you higher a lawyer and it will cost to get your own money back, if you ask me the FBI is or are worse than Criminals!
@@Omikoshi78 He can travel with money, should he be guilty for life?
Pfft
@@ms.nblank2537 you’re talking about a guy with 10+ felony convictions you tell me.
the bank accounts of that agent should be investigated
i feel the same way about John Walsh/Chris hanson/Pam Bondi/ICAC as this TSA money laundering horseshit. the bank accounts. where is the money?
HE'S PROBABLY A MILLIONAIRE. "YOU MAKE AND WE TAKE!"
Bang on also Biden
Bang on also Biden
@@Ali81887 He gonna get his 10% y’know.
Goes to show who the real criminals truly are, and they do it under the cover of the law
It's shows who is the real dummy
I'm not gonna agree on that. They have to do their job. You are posting rude comments which could cause you to not post again. Respecting the rules is the Lord's commandments
@@user-gn8eb4ii9p that is definitely no type of job. They just took his shiiiii, but he was the the dummy that didn't declare the money like he's supposed to
Wishing his Azz friendly fire
@Hector Colon you declare when crossing INTERNATIONAL borders.
There’s been so many stories on this and NOTHING has changed. From the story of the army vet who was carrying his life savings of 120k driving through a highway. The officers claimed he was drug trafficker and he explained he wasn’t. They ended up taking his entire life savings he ended up begging on the side of the road explaining he had no money left and that his family depended on that money. Months later they gave it back only until the vet took the story to a news station. Turns out police departments get to keep a percentage of the stuff they confiscate especially cash.
yes they often make you sign a non disclosure agreement and keep some money percentage for themselves. It is outright hiway robbery/ All i can say is keep you nose clean, and have good documentation
I saw the video about him.. poor guy!! It's so disgusting!!
I remember that story..! Dude literally begged them😕
Dude got his money back. Why do you pretend that drug trafficking isn't a major problem in this country? This dude has decades long history of felony drug and weapons convictions, he could not get a license to run a gambling establishment such as he claims to be buying machines for. He's still in the drug business, he just hadn't been caught in a while, but you want to believe him because he seems like a nice guy. 🙄
@@chillwill5080I hope they size your money😂
'Walk away from the money and we wont investigate you' sounds like a bribe to me.
Criminal coercion but they are the ones that enforce that sort of prosecution.
It's no different then a mafia guy telling a store owner
"Nice shop you have here be a real shame if something bad happened to it."
GAME:MECHANIZED
Exactly
No it's closer to extortion or like the one guy said just straight-up robbery
Any time you make more money than "them" you're a "SUSPECT".
No they make way more money they are all just greedy and its never enough. Any cop or federal agent that has nice house and toys obviously killed for it and robbed innocent people
@@Chrisjones-uh1xm lmao cops don't get paid alot if you think that you don't know how much a mf can make by doing solar and starting I was making $63 a hr and to just drill holes to hang wires $90 a hr so foh with that lie 🤣🤡
@@stedsnellings9340 if they are stealing huge amounts of cash then those ones are making enormous amounts of money, there are a lot of thieves in this world and sad truth is there are more wearing uniforms then there are wearing prison attire
u dealt with cocas before. u guilty. NO HOPE IN DOPE.
Exactly
While we wait for this law to be removed, please people avoid carrying large amounts of money anywhere in the US. It's common knowledge that this triggers questions or investigations from authorities. Be it in the banks, casinos, airports, highways, etc. We should collectively & actively protest this illegal seizures & making citizens guilty without due process!!
I agree but theres no limit of how much money you can carry domestically in the states. International different story. Banks rob you, scammers rob you, LAW ENFORCEMENT ROBS YOU. Then you wonder why people are getting into crypto.
I sold my restored car by a fluke in Laughlin, too the shuttle to Vegas, won MO MONEY, but had a Wells Fargo I could deposit it, as I was flying/returning to Canada. You can only cross with less than 5,000. I'd hate to think what would have happened if I didn't have an American bank account to drop it in: it's a LOT harder now to just open one if you're not a UsA resident.
I'm glad you brought this to light!! So many crooked Government workers out there mixed in with the honest true workers....gives Gov workers overall a bad name
You think this guy was honest ??? Using all that cash to buy gaming machines ??? If he wanted to do that there are easier ways to do so. WE ALL KNOW HE DID NOT EARN THAT $$$$ by having a JOB. Looking at his criminal history who would hire him to make that kind of money ???
@alen koka SMH. Every person that have high sums of money are not criminals do you know how much a barber which is a cash based business, makes? Over 200k yearly. Everyone dont trust banks. YOU ARE probably just like those greedy lying agents. You see a man with more than you and get jealous. You are exactly the problem. Judging thise that are better off than you
I call cap!! There are no “honest” government workers. If there are so many “honest” workers/ “good cops,” then why don’t we see more of them standing up to and fighting against corruption like this??? If they truly are the majority… Why don’t they FIGHT FOR US???
@@alenkoka7711surprised you didn’t just come out and say it…. Look at his skin color…. No way he is self-employed and making an honest living… I know many ex-cons and yes, black ex-cons, that turned over a new leaf and are very successful business men and women. There are many successful TH-camrs that are excons…. You might want to do a little research before you open your mouth… In the most incarcerated country in the world, there might be many felons that straightened their lives out and are successful.
them : "Prove to us that this is your money"
lawful citizen: "Prove that it isnt"
Burden of proof is on the accuser, the poor man just trying to stay rich
them : We have it now, how could it possibly be yours ?
Damn right!!
All about revenue! Bonuses for everyone involved except the man who owns the money! Every president backs this policy! I seen trump listen to police only on this kind of crap. Didn't listen to victims! All a crock of crap! In this kind of crap, your guilty until proven innocent
This guy is not the Sharpest 🔪 in the draw He should have just rented a car 🚗 Yes what that dirty cop 👮♂️did to him was wrong and I hope he gets that money back but I would never go to the airport with that type of cash 💸 you are asking for trouble
I remember back when Americans were allowed to have money.
If the government to gainfully self-employed considered a Te®®orist and a threat to their secret "crime" wars they write fiction books about on their off time. So Hollywood can keep making fake reality crime reinactments as if their version of the story is better than the ones they put behind bars version of events.
nigga who keeps that much cash on them is asking to get robbed lol, its all in the game man
Democrats thrive on sustained poverty and have nothing but disdain for wealth.
This is why I don't use cash anymore...
You will own nothing and you will be happy - LOL
Civil forfeiture needs to end now. Too many innocent people are getting screwed.
I don't disagree, but THIS dude has decades long history of felony drug and weapons convictions, he could not get a license to run a gambling establishment such as he claims to be buying machines for. He's still in the drug business, he just hadn't been caught in a while, ya'll are naive as hell believing that dude.
@@chillwill5080 Sooo, OK. If that's true, you get a WARRANT. Then you arrest him and book him on CHARGES. It's called "due process". That's how it's supposed to work.
@@scottmorton1202 I only took issue with the part about calling him innocent, learn to read with comprehension.
I used to work at one of the busiest airports in America and I have seen with my own eyes how the DEA operates with cash seizures and its nothing more than a robbery. I saw on 3 different occasions where they seized moneu and the seizure covered in this news story was cordial compared to what I witnessed
When they steal. Its "confiscated" when you steal. Its a felony.
Agreed
Annexation*
Yes, agree
Soooo true.
That explains why nobodies’ buying at Comic Cons anymore..
Stealing people's money, and forcing the owner of the money to prove they are not criminals. It's In and if itself, CRIMINAL.
Exactly
Yeah, crazy. YOU get robbed and have to prove you're not a criminal! Unbelievable!
Why we gotta prove, due process requires police to do investigation and prove it in court, they dont know, doesnt mean he has to prove. Cops gotta prove its legal or not, good luck to raliegh son of bitches.
yup, your guilty until proven innocent in a communist country.
This is amerikkka
That is unbelieveable .How are these people getting by with this?Its nothing but theft.
Armed robbery with a badge
That's completely illegal.
No it's not if you know the law
THIS IS JOURNALISM. So many big cable networks have endless resources and aren’t reporting stories like this.
You want them to report on every drug dealer that gets busted?
@@jlam3927 you think that everyone operating in cash deals drugs? Keep trusting those banks, in God I trust.
@@jlam3927 the best part about cash is you always know how much you got. And you don't need a cell phone battery. Just your two hands and counting skills. It is a clear violation of the 4th amendment to seize property.
@@justusforrester7841 Yeah, the best part of not having cash is that you can't lose it or get robbed. That's why only drug dealers and criminals carry it.
So the officer tells him it's suspicious, that is not illegal. That officer at no time gave him any reason except for suspicion. "It feels suspicious". There we go with feelings again. This also happens when cops pull drivers over when they "suspect" something and find cash and then they seize it. There are cases when people have had to pay a portion of that sized cash in order to get some of it back. What kind of soviet fucking Marxism do we have here?
Don't ever sign anything law enforcement puts in front of you. Especially without a lawyer present.

Yes. Its an amazing feeling to see an honest reporter willing to go out & do the legwork, get the facts, not just made up crap. You know what is coming out if his mouth is the TRUTH!!! Hes amazing!!
In a time where media faces scrutiny, THIS is an AMAZING example of what journalism should be. Good job Jody!
Journalist like these get into “accidents “ for talking to much , much respect to this guy .
Truth
One-sided journalism is not good.
i was thinking the same thing, wow real journalism going on here
This has been happening for decades, it really took off after 911 and the Patriot Act, and there's been a number of journalists covering it before. Unless there's legislation that gets passed and people actually push for change, there's not going to be any change.
It's really sad that everyone needs a lawyer in their family to protect themselves from the police, the people who are supposedly supposed to "protect and serve" citizens.
Thank you so much for covering this story. More and more people need to hear about it.
It's amazing how evil our government is.
Have always been evil. Karma
in no way shape or form are they your friend.

Under the new leadership hopefully 2024 will be different
Sometimes you wish school shooting would shift locations to include tsa.....Just saying...
A federal employee who is committing a criminal act. Cannot be forgotten!
Is this a fucking joke?! He said if you don’t give me your 115k and walk away we will investigate you!
People need to be charged with a crime for stealing money. There is absolutely no law in the world of the United States that says you cannot carry cash.
Lock his ass up. These agents getting too comfortable
Sure, give the feds their share of the dough and you're free to go.
It happens everyday and always has since the birth of the government , and you think this want be forgotten lol , that's like saying you seen a baseball game and want forget how a baseball looks lol

This is so messed up on so many levels
So now you can just steal people's money because the situation is "odd." Insane.
Absolutely. This is not an isolated case!
Law enforcement is corrupt
The same way they steal drugs then put em back on the street
They have been doing this for year's.
They steal from him and put it in their pockets
It amazes me that people trust the government and if you don't your labeled a conspiracy theorist.
So you're saying there are either those who believe and those who dont which are theorists. Well there are some that believe government should have less say on people lives and those who think we need government just not one that works like the current ones filled and spilling with corruption.
Tax funded sovereign citizen domestic terrorist gang members..
Those who trusts today's governments are those who did not have to learn to read and write to graduate.
Most of this has to be blamed on those vote for Democrats!! And I have few doubts that this gentleman is having his cash seized is one of those individuals who has voted for Democrats his entire life. Ll
If you even question anything you're labeled.
So why are they being able to get away with literally stealing people's money
With a government that spends money like this one does nothing and I mean nothing you own is safe. They need money to try to cover the spending they are doing and will do anything to get it.
This is criminal! The guy knew that he didn't have anything on him. He just wanted the money.
Unlawful Enforcement is above the law. Welcome to the 19th century. Sorry we still take democrats seriously in our Republic.
How is that not extortion
That's a clownish statement given eminent domain, civil forfeiture cash seizures and qualified immunity are all republican championed issues which Democrats and especially Progressives oppose to the point of ridicule@@lukesutton4135. Michigan's Walbergh is an exception and not the rule. As noted below, civil forfeiture cash seizures were implemented and signed into law within the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 under Ronald Reagan. Biden needs to answer for his support but so does every President since Reagan (including Trump) and every other elected official involved. That is the difference between Dems and Repubs- Dems hold their own accountable. It's ridiculous we still take Republicans seriously within our Democratic Republic and it's also ridiculous so many Americans have mouths full of republican fish hooks, such as yourself.
That seizure wasn't based on any credible evidence. It was based on that agent's misguided performance oriented behavior instilled by his superiors.

Best thing to do, as horrific as these crimes against citizens are, is to not have large sums of cash on you in a scenario like this.
I've heard stories of traffic stops that turn into searches and folks have had as little as $800 taken, just accused of being on a road trip going somewhere to buy drugs.
Local cops just pocket the money or their departments do!
They need probable cause, they can't just make it up. Every driver can turned into a criminal especially during a police interaction
@@claireh.7605 Claire as countless TH-cam videos show, you'd be surprised how corrupt cops can turn anything into reasonable articulate suspicion or probable cause to do anything they want. With American law enforcement being completely out of control and off the rails, we need to constantly be on guard and learn how to protect ourselves from them. An ever increasing contingent of the American populous consider law enforcement themselves to be the threat! They lie all the time.
Can't keep in banks, any day now there going bankrupt
🤔 now he has to pay that same bribery money to a lawyer.😖
America has taught me that , "Its ok to rob a man shaking his hand and smiling. Its only wrong if I use a gun and a mask."
BOOM!!
No civil forfeiture without court action. A judge should be involved BEFORE they seize money.
I agree find the crime before you fine the money
Obviously a corrupt process, intended to give the citizen the runaround.
The Judges are corrupt also .........
extra steps before the robbery still occurs......
So much for our Constitutional Rights
Excellent journalism 👍👍
this is what the public wants to see. The sad thing is if you decide to walk away you unofficially plead guilty.
Makes a man want to go back to being a criminal.
Meanwhile, the REAL drug traffickers know exactly how to smuggle cash without being caught at airports

They just seized my car .. i was parked up .. i live in new york

He got pulled somewhere on his way to Alabama and state troopers accused him of drug activity. He wasn't actually charged but they took the money as evidence and it's been over 2 years. He probably won't get it back since it costs so much for attorneys and legal fees to fight the case.Poor guy taught us all that the government/police are not people to trust
Let me really fix the story:
(1) Government is bankrupt and needs to steal cash money
(2) Government is corrupt and wants to line it's pockets
(3) Government is a coward who can't tax the big fish and just grab physical cash money to make up for the difference
(4) Government wants to control economic freedom by stealing physical cash money from innocent citizens
(5) Government wants to gradually destroy economic freedom by stealing physical cash money just because they are conveniently easy to steal from innocent citizens in it's
(6) war against physical cash in order to force people to use electronic money which can be stolen-transfer by corrupt and bankrupt government
(7) Government wants to economically bully people on a power trip to show people it has dictatorial totalitarian powers to violate your U.S Constitutional "BILL OF RIGHTS"!
Never have been and never will be!! They're the bad guys. People don't want to stand up and fight back this is the real problem.
I can believe that, better just to have a certified bank check
It's basically standard police procedure at this point. Legalized highway robbery. A crime that people used to hang for...
"Nothing is wrong with it, I just feel that it's odd"
Wow
"Just sign right here and walk away from your 100k" Test that agent for drugs, I feel he's on something.
@@KurtOnoIR lol cause I guy with prior drug charges is trying to take 115k in cash to Cali? Literally last month I lost it on my mother for taking 8k in cash on plane… it’s just fucking retarded, go get back check, wire if, transfer it.. walk it through airport security?? Juice was not worth the squeeze on that one
Passenger, "Somehow stealing this money from me is expected these days" ... Government stealing from you is not considered odd at all apparently.
Nothing wrong with it ? If it was your money , you would see a lot wrong with it.
@@robertdesi6368 are you illiterate?? You need to nearly how to write a proper sentence.
I guess nobody wants to talk about the racial-profiling aspect of many of these seizures. 🤔 Folks can bury their head in the sand all they want, but that's a part of this that shouldn't be ignored.
Highway robbery.
Thank goodness for FOIA.
I hope that journalist s getting paid well he's brilliant
He is one of the best
I remember the CPD got my brother for like $800 bucks after he cashed his check. He even had his check stub on him and he still had to fight for it in court. Shoutouts to the Land of the Free.
People really need to research when they vote instead of going by what the media promotes
Well damn…
@@closniev2939 from what I've witnessed it doesn't seem to matter who you vote for . The guberment on the whole wants a monopoly on ,violence , coercion and corruption. And that is the way it is .
@@watsamatau Its the globalist elite establishment that is doing this. People need to research and vote in those who go against them. Sadly there is lots of controlled opposition, so hard to tell whos really against them and not just playing into their pocket. For voting, yes people should still vote, but also call out any inconsistencies and "clitches" in the voting, so they cannot A "fortify" election and B wont have to as people wont vote and that is their goal with this.
@@Hellsong89 unfortunately most people complain or don't care about the obvious corruption or just leave it up to others.
Its called grand theft and piracy, which the country was founded on since the start
“I feel it’s odd”. Your feelings are no justification for theft
👍🏽
@ smarten up, boy.
Your feelings are no justification to let criminals walk free. This dude has decades long history of felony drug and weapons convictions, he could not get a license to run a gambling establishment such as he claims to be buying machines for. He's still in the drug business, he just hadn't been caught in a while, but you want to believe him because he seems like a nice guy. 🙄
@@chillwill5080 think you’re missing the point. Nobody said he was a nice guy. The statement was indicating the personal feelings of an individual doesn’t give the government the right to seize personal property. It has never been in the nature of government to give up power it has gained. This impacts this gentleman today but tomorrow it could be you or I as law abiding citizens tomorrow because of an individuals feelings.
@@devinsunpopularopinion6239 The law actually does allow the seizure of suspected proceeds of criminal activity. I would say that "gives them the right", hmmm?
Don't try to drive across the country with cash either, local cops or state police will steal it. Check TH-cam for 100's of such cases
There was an investigation on Tennesee highway patrol doing it. Stole like 20 grand from a guy and they made him jump through all kinds of hoop's to get it back.
This is only one reason why the gov hates crypto. They can't steal it from you so easily.
Certain casinos that you hit a jackpot in call someone on the police force and they stop you. If you hit anything big, go to the nearest bank and wire it to yours. Dont drive with the money.
@@sheliashuck1633 You are so correct young lady. Friend of mine won 14 grand in Vegas and on the way home cops seized it. He even had the tax forms issued from the casino with the amount of winnings printed on it. They didn't care, took it anyway.
@@davidfasching9859 Im so disgusted with this law. Its thieves being thieves lawfully. In the land of thieves. God, Im disgusted by a thief.
There has been no due process. He needs to get his money back.
I'd be like, "Go ahead with your investigation!"
I wouldn't carry around cash like that either. In this day and age, there's no reason to.
That “sign over this money and we won’t investigate you,” is straight up exactly the type of thing Soviet police would do.
I was just saying the same thing. And we’re not suppose to question it 😶
Not! Soviets would just take it.
Comrade Chairman Biden and The Party is very concerned
Apparently it's the type of thing the USA does and has been doing since before the patriot Act. Soviets are long gone, open your eyes.
@@vgrepairs they did that s*** to me in the '80s I had to spend a third of my money with a lawyer to get it back I had 60 Grand to buy some vehicles and flip them that's what I had been doing I had plenty of proof showing that I had a legal business a roofing and siding business and a real estate business and automobile flipping business and I had to give up $20,000 to get back my $60k and they never had any evidence bone whatsoever!
I stopped flying years ago when the TSA started fondling everyones junk.
@@mrbantumusic pickup truck.
@@mrbantumusic I've driven all over the United States, Canada and Mexico.
You know flying may be faster but you can carry more with you if you drive you're not required to have 8 oz or less liquid in a clear bottle or whatever the freaking stupid rules are these days
I started flying more just cause of the fondling 🤪🤪
@@helbergalinda9141 well I guess some of us have to get it somehow right
Talk about a shake down. These actions make the mob jealous. Where's the people that always say "there's good cops too"
They ain't that good or they would be preventing this
What I saw was out and out extortion. That is a federal crime.
In America, you can have guns, but you can't have cash
You can only have guns in some areas. Try buying a gun in Chicago or NYC.
Bitcoin
u cant have guns in an airport too
😆 🤣
@@JN-bw2wp u can have guns in a airport, I flew with my handgun from Atlanta to Texas, no problem 😎💪🏾
Classic comeback when they asked him "whats going on here" and he says simply....."I got robbed". Perfectly stated.
Nobody with legitimate money is going to carry it in the luggage.
Why would anyone carry that much money through the airport to be taken AS A FELON!
Extortion is the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats. legalize criminals, this is unbelievable and going to court ain't any better! What a sad ass system America is!
It's disgusting. Utterly disgusting.
Seems to me that this is a RICO case, with the government the criminal.
They don't want People to have money.
If u didn't have money they don't care a damm.
Its about the System stealing money.
A guy got his money back plus $15k.
His lawyer also sued the TSA and guards involved. The reasoning is TSA only job is to determined passengers and item boarding a plane does not pose a safety risk. CASH IS NOT A SAFETY RISK. It is also not illegal to transport cash inside of the USA.
Anon Anonme that's why it's more safer to put your money in the bank instead of carrying a suitcase full of cash on you.
crypto coins is the only way
Sooo they can use our money to make more money 💰 lol Mann. This world screwed up
@@emilio2647 actually it isn't safer and what are you going to do if there's no branch at your immediate destination
"A guy"? Which guy?
This is insane how you can go through an airport and come out the other side with a federal investigation, all for doing nothing at all….
Bully, threatening, lying, steeling our money who would of thought the govt would do that., 🙄
This dude has decades long history of felony drug and weapons convictions, he could not get a license to run a gambling establishment such as he claims to be buying machines for.

Founders: No illegal search and seizure
TSA: Hold my beer
me: HEY! THATS NOT MY BEER GOD DA******!
