This same kind of theft can happen on the road during traffic stops.
The next Governor, Congress person, or President that you vote for, should be working to restore the rights of "We the People" and outlaw civil asset forfeiture.
That's different. Never consent to a Search of your Vehicle.
Never separate out your cash from your person. I always carry my cash in my hand when going through scanners. If anyone tries to rob me they'll have a fight on their hands.
@@user-oe5ey3ex8bYou think you can fight 10 cops in an airport? They gang up on people
@@Tortilla.Reform Can I fight 10 cops? Yes, definitely. Can I win...No, definitely not in the short term. The fact that cowards like you don't fight when being robbed is why this keeps happening. What would a jury say about the justification of the fight? How would a jury look at the fact that there was no threat of the cash in hand? How would they look at armed government agents trying to steal that money considering the history of civil asset forfeiture? A president setting case is what we need but too many cowards sit by and they evil prevail.
Playing on a passengers ignorance for profit. Government corruption at its finest.
it's further than that it's deliberate oppression
@@SalvadorSanchez-hq9hn Its just payback for rioting, looting, and frivolous lawsuits.
found the sheeep. you like your muzzle?@@samtung83
@@samtung83you are so so wise
our "Government" encourages law enforcement to steal from us.... unbelievable.
Government can just take my money and not give it back, yet if I take money from them it's a felony.
Aw, you poor little guy.
why not bring money counterfeiting to airplane 🤣
It's been that way since America's inception.
Corruption on a massive level!
Because they are white.
@@supbruh7992 Two of the thug DEA agents were Black, Cletus.
As a veteran I’m way more offended by this than anyone kneeling before a football game! This is a slap in the face of all the values we claim as a country.
It could be a reason to kneel instead of showing deference to the flag of a pirate nation.
@@scottsent8120 got a point there
Im also a veteran and I just laugh during the anthem now. Its all false patriotism to get more people to sign up and enforce these unconstitutional seizures at the airports.
This one is malicious and that one is stupid and indirectly malicious.
@@azsegrxdhtfgvijnkomlewrhtg9508….How is peacefully protesting corrupt government officials “indirectly malicious” in your view? Stupid is just your opinion and irrelevant, but I’m curious about the other part
A badge is a license to steal.
I'm not consenting to anything.
I'm not signing anything.
I'm not forfeiting anything.
Now what ?!
They'll still seize the money 9/10, but it is MUCH easier to get your money back along with a settlement if any misconduct happens.
The guys doing this are involved in far worse types of crimes than the low lever $5 and $10 weed seller. America is not stupid its conveniently ignorant
@@john2g1 your money less whatever your lawyer costs you which is usually more than the money that they seized
@@blanksender7808 Unlike a civil asset forfeiture if a law enforcement agency chooses to seize your money anyway it will have to be for criminal charges entitling you to a public defender.
Assuming that you're not actively committing a crime like pretty much everyone in this video even a public defender (no offense the system has given you guys a bad reputation) can win due to a lack of evidence.
@@john2g1 You're like a fountain of misinformation. Authorities choosing to "seize your money anyway" is still considered a civil forfeiture that can happen without criminal charges. And regardless, someone is only "entitled" to a public defender if the judge determines that you can't afford an attorney (which isn't going to happen for a person who was travelling with a lot of cash). Also, thinking it'd be just that easy to get your money back with a settlement.....that's just comically naive for many reasons.
You are not obligated to talk to them. You are not obligated to submit to a warrantless search. Say no thank you I have nothing to say to you and then ignore them like they don't exist. Force them to detain you and get a warrant. Take away all of their options to infringe upon your rights.
You can absolutely do that but nothing will happen to them and you’ll end up missing your flight
I rather miss a flight then loose 10- 100 k any day of the week .
@@SeanJonhDiddyPop the problem is you'll miss your flight and still won't get your 10-100k back
@@Youdude2 basically you're double Fck ! I would just put all that money on prepaid cards !
And then withdraw that money when I arrive at my destination !
@@SeanJonhDiddyPop Sometimes it's not easy to withdraw large sums for everyone edepending on where they are going. That said, what IF you CAN prove that your money isnt from drugs?
I hope this continues to get news coverage. Most Americans don’t even believe you when you tell them this stuff happens. They say things like “that can’t happen here- we have a constitution.” Yet it does happen.
I would not believe this was possible either. It’s the same as a criminal just robbing you, there’s no difference.
Only a fool believes in such things. This country is corrupt.
Never consent. Never sign anything without an attorney present. Better yet, don't even acknowledge anyone who wants to search you outside the checkpoint. Make it a situation where they actually have to detain you, and then they will have to defend why they took that action in court.
Please spread this. I’ll do my part. God Bless ❤️
This guy gets it. I did the same thing at SFO in San Francisco. They tried to bully me the whole time in line, all the way to the plane. I ignored them as if they didn't exist. I have never seen someone so butthurt in my life. This is why they have consent forms they try to get you to sign away your rights with.
Lol. You clearly aren't understanding. You don't have to comply or sign anything for them to steal your sh$t.
Go read a book.
@@scipher99ok bot
@@KB-kp2oz They aren't looking to make a big scene at an airport. They are looking to take your money quiet-like. So just like other people out there looking to take what is yours, if they think it's going to be too much of a hassle, they will pick an easier target. They are counting on the fear people have of missing flights to coerce consent. And as for books, I have read plenty, but thanks for your concern.
Legal thieves?! Wow.. unbelievable 😮
It's like the "peaceful protesters" version of looting and rioting. They want reparations for defund the police movement.😅
How come the constitutional Republicans aren't putting a stop to this ?
You're the educated one
Everyone not just republicans
@@SalvadorSanchez-hq9hn I know that.
The bigger Question is why aren't constitutional Democrats doing it? & why have forfeitures under Biden gone up 23%?
Because they don't have to worry about finding the funds to fund these agencies.
Less than %1 of U.S. currency is actual physical cash. They want to eliminate that last remaining physical cash in order to control every aspect of your future purchases.
This is what an out of control government looks like.
This is what an out of control society looks like. Our government officials accurately represent American society.
This is literally interstate robbery. John Locke made the case that seizing your property, your livelihood, is as good as an attack on your person, on your life. I would argue that there is a case, as well, for self-defense, no matter that they are carrying a badge.
Good luck defending yourself in court for killing a state trooper who seized your money. I'd rather fight it out through legal means than be the first to test the theory.
@@onespeedlite I 100% did not advocate for killing a state trooper. The point is academic. And it is cautionary. If there is a case for self-defense, then this practice is putting LEOs at risk.
@@onespeedlitein California it is encouraged so your logic is flawed
If you travel to Las Vegas and win a $10k + jackpot and want to fly home with the money, think about getting a check from the casino before flying home....
Never known a casino to hand out checks.....Better deposit it
@@josha.bdoge2 Yes, they can. If you win a jackpot involving a w2-g, you easily have the option of getting a check
@@hj-xb2tr good to know however, I don't waste money on things that has astronomical odds that is not in my favor
This is heinous. Shame on them.
Wow I wanted to go to Texas to buy a truck because they have no rust like here in the northeast for 5k but now I’m afraid of getting rob at the airport
End Qualified Immunity and civil asset forfeiture.
Amen! Cops are the criminals.
When the lawman are the criminals!
Keep up the good work ANF! Always telling people what we need to know.
And while that cash is in storage, a lot goes missing. They know it takes years to reclaim it so they dip in to it. Already published. $120k taken from a man traveling with it and $20k missing when they gave it back to him.
One of these days, they're gonna go up against someone with a terminal illness, whose last thought will be to "Settle up" before checking out...
Or somone with extreme vengeance and patience.
@@j01150126 One thing I always grudgingly admired about Arab culture. The believe vengeance delayed is all the sweeter. The one example I read was so profound, I can't post it here for fear of arrest.
@Kharkovkid The assassination of Anwar Sadat was a perfect example of someone who was a child when the incident occurred and then killed Sadat 2 decades later after he became an adult.
If this is how the American government shakes down its own people, can you imagine what they do overseas?
Why is EVERY single victim Black?
This is why people hate the police. With no charges, no crime, and then we have to pay a lawyer and be delayed for years to get our money back.
Thank god you are bringing this to LIGHT!
I remember many years ago this type of thing was exposed on “60 minutes”. It was shocking to see the agents take someones money without cause. It was satisfying to see those same agents retreat when Mike Wallace came out with the cameras. Hard to believe this is still happening in America.
Considering the fact that they investigate themselves for wrongdoing, them being slightly embarrassed by mike wallace for a hot second is definitely nowhere near enough
Not hard to believe… it’s America …
It will still happen 10 years from now.
It's not only federal agencies running this robbery operation; local and state police can partner with them to do the same thing and keep a portion of the seized money for themselves. There are some reports posted on youtube on this from a TN TV news station from years back. I also saw one or two videos about this happening in Nevada. So, they can do this on traffic stops; we're not safe from this anywhere.
How about some tips from the lawyer? On a traffic stop cops can't hold you up to wait for a drug dog if it takes longer than writing the ticket if any. Assuming they don't don't have a reasonable suspicion of a crime and the driver refuses to allow a search.
nice in theory but the cops will hold you as long as they want and do what they want... you just can't leave after 15 minutes. If they violate your rights... no problem.. the cops say just hire a lawyer and "sue me".
The DEA/cop is not claiming that you have committed a crime. That's the reason they always let you go. What they are claiming is that they have the right to seize the money, because carrying a large amount of cash is a reasonable suspicion of a crime. They hold on to it until an "investigation has been completed". This could take months, years, or forever.
There was a guy, veteran if I remember correctly, driving through a state. Got pulled over, he had large amount of cash for something. They seize it all, without charging him with anything. He's still trying to get it back several years later.
Google “flex your rights” and look at their content on what to say to police, but essentially “I do not consent to searches, am I free to go?”
This must be stopped.
Yea no. You better charge me with something
Being black on Friday
Being Hispanic on Monday
Those people are evil.
I'd say the US is turning into third-world country but most other countries are crumbling down too.
I live in a third-world country but we don't have insane policies like this.
@@Vendemiairexactly. Worse then Nigeria😂🤣
No checks and balances nowadays
straight up gang activity
One of the most insane things I've ever heard! What's happening in the U.S.? Crime seems to be worsening and now insane policies like this that assume guilt before innocence exist.
Civil asset forfeiture needs to stop. The next Governor, Congress person, or President that you vote for, should be working to restore the rights of "We the People" and outlaw civil asset forfeiture.
Absolutely shocking !!!! Thank you for showing this.
With cops like this, who needs thieves? Sickening. The mayor needs to be explaining this now!
Very good bit of journalism. Well done. I’m subscribed.
Nothing worse than a corrupt cop.
This is horrible... they need to stop harassing innocent people and give them back their money!
Extortion big time🤬😢
n most cases, these drug agents collaborate with TSA security. They scan and x-ray your bag, locating where you've placed the cash. Whenever they spot a large amount of cash, they signal these mofo to 'rob' you.
That's called Arm Robbery without a Gun.
These people need to notify their local senator or congressman/woman to look into this. This needs to be addressed at the highest levels of government. There need to be laws put in in place to protect people from this. This is straight up government theft.
"You can buy your way out of this scam for $100,000 . . !!!" What a joke..!!!
Its getting harder and harder to support law enforcement.
I learned. Was making 35k a year now homeless. They falsified a police report and got a no contact order I was forced to move and lost everything in storage waiting for a trial( never happened)
Karma always balances the scales of justice. Earth school is not easy but worth it at the end. Focused on the promised land because this is only temporary. Good luck with the event!!! I had a vision and dream about the promised land it's absolutely beautiful. I was told just when it can't get any worse that's when I show up. If that helps in any way.
I’m with the government, I’m here to help !
It is a shack down.
And an assault on literacy.
What a thief with a badge, this is plain abuse of power and should not be tolerated.
If the only result is an anonymous complaint in a YT video comment section, then it is being tolerated by everyone.
This is insane!
It's not against the law but I wouldn't fly with that much money, unless it's private. Seizing someone's property without a warrant or probable cause Is a violation in my book. You are being legally robbed of your property, and the crazy thing about it is that there's no law against flying with large amount of money
Sounds like a class action law suit.
If the TSA or DEA ever try to confiscate my cash, I will contact my congressman and high powered lawyer and sue the hell out of them!!
Congress doesn't give a sh*t. Your congressman would probably get a share of it 😂😂
This also happens during a traffic stop if they know you have some sizable cash.
This is disgusting. Congress needs to address this issue. Civil forfeiture should be outlawed from someone not convicted of a crime.
Sad to say, you must resist, and if necessary, MISS YOUR FLIGHT. Our RIGHTS AS CITIZENS HAVE BEEN STRIPPED AWAY.
Most people don't believe these agents are criminals. Most people think that 100% of the seized cash gets reported, and none gets stolen by the agents. This is what a government agency for organized crime looks like.
I would put my money in the bank ..or anywhere rather than take it with me to airport
Since when is owning cash a crime . They just want to take it to fund themselves .
The chief of police in Clayton county has a mansion in Henry county, and many of the police officer have nice houses with their 50k a year salary.
Lol 50k is an entry level law enforcement salary. Usually after 4-5 years cops can easily pull 6 figures. Where I live a lot of departments start you out in the high 80s low 90s.
And the “cheif” of police in Clayton county must be the elected sheriff not a police chief as county agencies have sheriffs and deputies not a chief and officers. Anyway.. the point I’m making is elected sheriffs make ALOT. Look up an elected sheriffs salary. Do not underestimate how lucrative law enforcement can be in some places.
NEVER agree to a police search...EVER!!! Make them have to get a search warrant signed by a judge.
Actually according to both State Law and the CONSTITUTION, police need a valid Warrent to grab any ones personal property!
Thus the reason my Grandfather always kept most of his money in gold or silver. And almost nothing in the bank!
You would need to dig up the entire farm to grab much of his money!
yeah there was a rash of these asshoes doing the same thing with gold and silver coins and bars
U should get bank label tag on all bundles for proof
It would be helpful if the lawyer you interviewed explained what you can do to protect yourself.
Talk about a license to steal.
Americans are focusing on issues like abortion, the Israel war, the Ukraine war, and Trump. For most Americans, this is not important enough to discuss with politicians running for office. Next time you talk to someone who is running for office bring this up, they will not know what you are talking about.
Civil Asset Forfeiture is another universal ENSLAVEMENT law 😅😅
HBO’s John Oliver covered this topic very well
th-cam.com/video/3kEpZWGgJks/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GjRhlApDROUMN8XX
This is outrageous.
Which Political Party was In control of the Federal Government when this was passed and became law?
The criminals make it difficult for the honest people to survive.
Things like this makes me lose any faith, support, or care for the continuation of this country. The only difference between an honest citizen and a criminal is one new law.
Civil forfeiture should be outlawed.
If TSA takes my money, you won't have to worry about lawyers
They should do a study of how many African/Latino Americans the DEA stopped and checked compared to other races. I think that would be an eye-opening info to know. Also, how many of those African/Latino Americans receive their funds back. Please do a report on that data.
WHAT ‼️ 🤯🤯🤯
File a class action lawsuit against the agencies involved.. you'll win.
Great America for ya
Don't fly out of Atlanta to LA.
Don't steal ppls money
Ask yourself why your favorite politician wont propose a bill to eliminate this theft?
That bell is giving Linkin Park
Ive become so numb
They can't but still get away with it.
😂WHAT IN ALL THA HELL!
They're dirty plain and simple. They know what their doing is wrong so they have nothing to say.
When you travel and have large sums of money on you , make sure you DECLARE it as if you don't and they find it you look guilty of hiding it and that's reason enough for them to seize it..
Not so. If you declare it and can’t prove it’s not drug money they will take it. Friend sold his car in another state for cash, then flew back. Declared over 40,000 in cash. Explained he just sold his car. They took his money. Had to get a lawyer to get it back! Just insane.
I think the law is you don’t have to declare anything under 10k.
@@user-sj5ju4jb7tyou don’t have to declare any amount of money when flying domestically.
@@user-sj5ju4jb7tdid you not just watch the video. They clearly stated you can travel with any amounts of money domestically.
Civil Forfeiture. Gotta love it.
Unjust Civil Forfeiture.....Big Difference.....
And we thought thieves were bad
full blown corruption.

I dream of the day the TSA is shut down and the Patriot Act is repealed! Completely UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
This happened in the freedom country. The government has the freedom 'to take your money'.
SMH!
Time has come to remove the criminal act from police
This country is going to hell with all that theft
