(edit) Would someone please ship some counterfeit money through there and get it confiscated, so the police can then be investigated for spending counterfeit money?
…when i was growing up waaay back in the depths of the twentieth century, standard protocol was never to send cash: check, money order, or COD only…in my grandparents’ generation, stamps were also often accepted as legal tender!..
…does anyone even do cash-on-delivery anymore?..i never used it but i feel like i haven’t seen mention in thirty years…
…so anyway, we had an onion on our belt, which was the style at the time, and my point is that not sending cash is nothing new…i guess the idea back then was that sending cash either risked loss/theft or facilitated illicit commerce; i never really figured out which…
…is sending cash any different now?..
Sure, but “sending cash is risky” is different than “if you send cash police will legally steal it.”
…that’s a fair point and civil forfeiture for carrying cash on your person is a thing now, too…
