Civil forfeiture without a conviction is illegal in New Mexico, Minnesota, and now Ohio. There might be a couple more states that give a shit about their citizens rights idk. Mississippi is looking into their civil forfeiture laws, but so that the state can get a piece of it instead of local police.....tunica county sheriff is all against it because officers "put their lives on the line" to steal that money.

Ummm, you're getting warmer.
There are quite a few WoV threads addressing potential risks when traveling with cash. Several occurred soon after I joined WoV, and that caused me to go looking for more. You'll find them if you search, and they paint a very unfortunate story of modern law enforcement in America today.
Here's a really, REALLY good, but also a really long (14-page), thread to get you started:
Lucky's Recommendation
If I recall correctly, somewhere in this thread someone links to the 2016 DOJ Asset Forfeiture Manual used by federal agents. (It's so very special when you can see the playbook of the opposition!)
Most folks think they're safe with less than $10K cash. The manual sez agents can seize amounts of $5K. Furthermore, if the feds are working with a local law enforcement agency that uses a lower threshold (and the feds usually are because they create multi-jurisdictional task forces), the feds can use the lower local $$ amount.
And, yes, it increasingly appears (to me) we are all livng on the other side of Alice's Looking Glass, where the Red Queen can do 3 impossible things before breakfast.
Sad. So sad, don'cher know?

Quote: MathExtremistHe wants to drive across the country in a RWD sports car in the middle of winter with a bunch of cash. Of all the ways to get to Vegas with a bunch of money, this sounds like one of the worst. Maybe riding a bicycle with a wicker basket full of $100 bills would be worse...
My 2c is sell the sports car, deposit the money in the bank, fly to Vegas, withdraw some of the money, buy a cheaper car, get to work counting cards. Flying will save both money and time. Second choice would be ship the car, deposit the money, fly, withdraw, get the car, get to work. But why waste the time driving across the country, and the hundreds of dollars on fillups, when there are so many blackjack games that need playing?
You'd spend at least $250 on gas, but flights from AC to LV are as low as $99 with enough advanced planning...
I get what you're saying but you completely ignored the price of shipping the car. $99 airplane ticket is all good and dandy, but the car isn't gonna teleport itself. I did the math already and driving will be cheaper even with filling up the gas time and time again. I also factored in the depreciation of the car after 2500 miles but still seems the best way to get there.
But now everyone got me thinking about the corruption going on with the cops on the side of the road and am definitely thinking twice. Of course I wrote some arguments of why it won't happen, but nothing is ever certain and now its definitely in the back of my mind. If anything I might deposit half and throw the rest in both of my shoes. Even if they illegally search my car without my consent and fake probable cause, its going to be hard for them to get me to go to the police station unless they're really out there to get me, which is why I said I'll try to be as pleasant as possible and not act like a know it all, which should ease them really trying to steal from me, but then again if I'm already stepping out of the car, they're already out to get me.
Land of the free for sure. Absolutely embarrassing.
Any private business open to the PUBLIC (ie. droned out casinos) cannot have a criminal trespass enforced against an individual without GOOD CAUSE (Disruptive or Disorderly conduct). You will never go to prison for being thrown out of a casino for legal advantage play and then returning because it's simply unconstitutional 'as applied' to the individual. 'As applied' constitutional issues must FIRST be raised in DISTRICT COURT (trial court) to have it thrown out. You CANNOT raise it on APPEAL This is the best kept secret in the world of casinos not just in Vegas but everywhere in the country. Thank me later.

Quote: beachbumbabsI lived in Volusia County, FL for 10 yrs. Google the Volusia County Sheriff and profiling for details, as they went through a nationally reported overreach for years, confiscating assets on I-95 stops. This stuff still goes on, especially in the South and West.
As for you, ZenKing, good luck with your trip. A lot of experienced people weighed in, you'd rather argue than listen, so luck is what you'll need.
1. They don't need a reason to pull you over, though I'm guessing you've given them one or two or you wouldn't have invested in such a fancy radar. They look at you in your sports car, Jersey plates, tinted windows (especially if the front side windows are so dark they can't see you), and they're going to FIND a reason.
2. Radar detection systems are illegal in several states you're passing thru. So are windows tinted as above. Those will give them reason to search once they've stopped you.
3. The problem with seizure is the cash is immediately gone. Getting it back is expensive and takes months if not years. If you get it back at all.
4. This is falling on deaf ears. That will be a problem for you, and not just in this matter. So I'll stop there and discontinue offering advice you requested. Again, good luck to you.
I already mentioned that if they were to stop me, it would be WITHOUT a reason. Regarding tints, my windows will be down so not worried about that. Regarding the radar I already said the radar is not like the others and I'd undetectable due to the structure its made out of(magnesium). I'm also aware of the states its illegal in and the only state I really have to worry about would be Texas. I also only have two windows on the car, 2 door car and no backseats and both windows will be down.
But like you said and I agree with you, they'll find a reason because I'm an out of state driver, that'd what I'm worried about, then it all depends how much they want to try and violate my rights. I think if I just clean shave and look innocent , young and professional and didnt break any traffic laws, i dont think they will try and bother me to much, especially not try and illegally search my car or me as I most likely don't have large amounts of cash or drugs.

FWIW, I shipped my suv from Florida to Hawaii. It was just less than 2000. (Bought it as a second car, used, with which i could haul my new-to-me boat around. One month later, i went to Hawaii. I drove a rental until it arrived, drove it for 2 years, then sold it to a dealer (lower than a private party price) for more than i paid for the car, the shipping, and the rental. That's how hard up they are for cars in Hawaii, at least the Big Island.)
Anyway, That's 3x further than you're going, mileage-wise, and included 5 weeks at sea after leaving land in Long Beach CA. I think if you're getting crazy quotes, like higher than 1/2 that, you should keep.shopping. The best services take in your car and hold it until they have enough to put a bunch on an auto hauler, making it very affordable.
So, you have options.

Well windows down in the 'danger' states such as Oklahoma. Obviously can't do that in Utah or Colorado at this time of year. Which other states besides Oklahoma should I be cautious about?
Also even less than 1/2 of $2000 that's still MUCH more than I would pay if I just drove my car out there.

My advice was to sell the car, not ship it. You said it's worth 10k? Sell it and buy an 8k car in Vegas, then you have another 2k in your bankroll. What are you driving right now?Quote: ZenKinGI get what you're saying but you completely ignored the price of shipping the car. $99 airplane ticket is all good and dandy, but the car isn't gonna teleport itself. I did the math already and driving will be cheaper even with filling up the gas time and time again. I also factored in the depreciation of the car after 2500 miles but still seems the best way to get there.
If you're set on keeping the car, you've got to accept the costs of managing it, including the time lost due to driving. Time is money, and you won't be making any money on the road. How much money would you make if, instead of driving across the country for N days, you were APing blackjack during those N days? Not making that money is also a cost. And so are the costs of meals, hotel rooms, etc. during your trip. It's not just the $250 in gas and 2500 miles in depreciation. You won't be eating granola bars and sleeping in your car in the middle of winter. You've started to do the math but you haven't done all of it. Under which of your various options do you have the most money two weeks after you leave New Jersey?

One of the things being ignored is whether the driving is being done for the experience. I'd love to have driven across America (from one coast to the other on principle). I did 2400 miles in a week but that was a circular loop - (San Diego, Denver, Las Vegas, LA).
Obviously the original question was aimed towards whether to go the shortest route given the weather conditions. But just a thought - trying to ignore that you have a wad of cash with you - is there a more memorable / scenic route, perhaps adding a few days, also perhaps bearing south for the easier weather? If I were that young I'd make a holiday out of the trip.

Not sure why he would even need an 8k car in Las Vegas. something for 5k would be more than sufficient. Especially since it 's just going to get stolen outside his $400 a month studio apt anyways.

You CANNOT raise it on APPEAL This is the best kept secret in the world of casinos not just in Vegas but everywhere in the country. Thank me later.

When/if you get pulled over, be sure to show the police officer who's boss. Remember, you're the alpha male. When pulled over, don't let the cop approach your car. Instead, immediately step out of your car and walk directly toward him. You want to intimidate the police officer. If he is intimidated, he'll be less likely to give you a ticket. If he yells at you to stop approaching, you gotta be louder and yell back at him -- don't back down, keep walking towards him. This is a test the policeman will use to determine if you're a bada** or not.

Well I didn't want to post anything but I am having a hard time resisting the candy trail in this thread. I could give good advice but it doesn't matter because the OP is most likely Full of you know what. The story has changed so many times in the last 6 weeks or so I can't keep track. Last I remember he took a huge hit at the tables and his bankroll was cut either in half or more so. I recall him swearing off BJ. All of this doesn't matter. I don't believe him at all and even if he does come out to Vegas he is going to have many, many difficult events that he never seen coming and going to have to deal with them accordingly.
The point of my post was that if you ask me what one should do when being chased or pulled over by the police... I think this is the best example of how to handle the situation!

Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. Your normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. THIS IS WRONG... IT AROUSES CONTEMPT IN THE COP HEART!! MAKE THE BASTARD CHASE YOU! He will follow, but he won't know what to make of your blinker signal that says your about to turn right. This is to let him know your pulling over for a proper place to talk. It'll take him a moment to realize he's about to make a 180-degree turn,at speed, but you will be ready... brace for the G's with fast heel-toe work!
Blah blah blah and here is the best quote for this situation!!
Yeah, I know. I'm guilty. I understand that. I knew it was a crime. I DID IT ANYWAY!
S**t, why argue? I'm a F****ing criminal. Look at me.

If you are really doing this, you'd likely make it all the way across the country with your bankroll intact.
The stupidity in your plan, if it is real, is that you are taking chances that you need not take. You are trying to convince yourself that you are smarter than all of the experienced folks here who have seen things happen that cost people, at least temporarily, their bankroll. You don't realize that the laws for seizure, wrong as they might be, give way to much leeway to some hick cop in a podunk town. Most cops don't abuse power, of course...but just enough do to not push the envelope.
What about the simple little criminal robbers out there that could steal your money?
Hell, what about a bad gambling decision made because too much of your bankroll is actually in your hands? I think you already mentioned doing that...
Again, you'll likely make it with your foolish money in the shoe deal. Then you'll brag about it here and tell us how wrong we were when we told you there was a low percentage chance of something bad happening but a high percentage chance that something bad happening could cost you the part of the bankroll in hand (and some of the rest of it in potentially unrecoverable lawyer's fees!).
Then someone else will take your advice and not that of the people with more experience here and they'll be the one to lose their bankroll...by stupidly following stupidity.
Anyway, if it is a real trip, good luck to you!!

Quote: ZenKinGThat's one of the main reasons I want to drive by car. I never drove in any of these states and a lot of these states would be nice to go through especially as a first time. Also I can potentially stop at a couple casinos during the trip.
Zen,
First, let me compliment you for the true "Zen-like" restraint you have shown while everybody and his brother has piled on. Ideally, WoV folks would try to add "light" in their comments without also adding all the "heat."
If your current plan is to take a "southern" route, my assumption is that you may wind up connecting with I-10, either via I-95, I-75, or I-65. In that case, you will drive through southern Mississippi and across Louisiana, where you will have ample opportunity to rest and play BJ (or other games). Shreveport, LA is a comfortable day's drive from Biloxi, MS. Both of those cities have multiple casinos competing against one another for your gambling business. So, you should be able to find games with low limits and reasonable rules if you use them as stopping off points.
Moving to "Lost Wages, NV" will probably limit visits the Gulfcoast area again anytime soon. If you take an extra day or two in your travels to get off the Interstate highways, you have the opportunity to see some beautiful seashore areas. Also, the seafood and Cajun food is second to none. But, I understand. You have places to go and things to do, so this might not occur.
Regardless of how you manage your money, this sounds like a real adventure, with the final result being that you arrive in NV and (hopefully) begin a successful career as an AP. Assuming everything goes as planned, I would enjoy seeing any posts you care to share during your travels. I hope it works out well for you. Good luck.

I would also suggest that if you make it to the East St. Louis area, find the lowest income most desperate area and pull into an alley. Keep bowing your horn until a crowd gathers around your car. Once there is 10 to 20 people there tell them you have $75,000 hidden in your shoes and offer to give one of them $20 to ride along with you and protect you from the cops. The key is a real poor ghetto area, otherwise they might expect $50 to help you.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

You could always take the Interstate 76-70 route until you got to St. Louis, then change over to I-44, taking that southwest until you hit I-40 at Oklahoma City, taking that to Kingman, AZ. Then take Highway 93 north to Vegas. That way if the winter weather is decent in the east but sucks in the west, you'll dip under it (hopefully).

Dude, you want to avoid snow and ice, do you?
Head to New Orleans, and hop aboard.
Hello, Panama Canal!
Take the slow boat to the Port of Los Angeles, then motor on into Las Vegas, windows down, money safely in hand (or is it in foot?)

In another lifetime, I worked security for a Puerto Rican boy band.
We did a small East Coast tour that ended with three days in NY. Our hotel was across the street from the venue and each night, we'd cross over with shopping bags full of cash from merchandise sales. The local promoter had arraigned for us to take the cash to his bank and give us a cashier's check for it, but our last show was on Sunday, and Monday was a holiday with our flight in the afternoon. Going into various bars and stores, I managed to turn a couple thousand In fives, ones and tens into $50s and $100s, but we still had about fifteen bags of cash, and a van full of luggage. As we get to JFK, one of the bottoms of the bags breaks and bricks of tens and twenties fall out. We gather them without incident but as we go to board, several plainclothes officers intercept us and ask one of the boys to accompany them to an office.I say I'm his chaperone and if one goes, we all go. On the way there, one of the officers tells the kid we are all in big trouble for attempting to leave the country with more than $10,000 and starts asking for our drug connections. I'm trying to explain who the kids are, and where the money came from, and that we aren't leaving the country in the first place. I hear a commotion, and turn to see that a couple of girls passing by recognised the guys and were going mad. Within minutes, there are 40-50 girls there asking for autographs, pictures, hugs. Meanwhile I'm standing there trying to watch fifteen bags of cash and talk to the cops.
It worked out in the end, but they didn't pay me enough for days like that.

I never said I would be driving across the country or carrying a bunch of cash. I'm talking hauling furniture or whatever else around the Vegas Valley.Quote: LuckyPhowQuote: AxelWolfI'm actually glad the tinting subject came up. I recently bought a truck ... and ...[t]he windows are darkly tinted. It might be a cop magnet.
Axel,
C'mon, buddy. After all the friendly posts on this thread from the WoV Tough-Love Committee, you of all people wouldn't be planning to drive anywhere with lotsa $$$ and a truck filled with anything that might arouse "suspicion," are you??
I just don't want to get pulled over for having tinted windows. The law here says something about 35% light transmittance. I don't know how dark that would actually be. Ill stop at a tinting place and ask.
I'm wondering how a cop could tell at night while just passing by you what percentage your tint was? It would seem like any tinting seen at night would appear fairly dark giving them an excuse to pull you over.

Looks like Google Maps doesnt have the 'southern route' up anymore. I hope this is not because there have been some major closures due to winter storms coming?
My final plan is to take 78 which turns into 81 down to 40 in Tennessee, then ALL THE WAY ACROSS to Kingman, Arizona and finally taking 93 up to vegas. Yes, I will have to face my demons with Oklahoma cops. But to me this is the best route, because 40 if it's bad i could always go down all the way to 10 which should give me a good chance of avoiding snow. All in all, if i dont have to drop down to 10, it looks like it's going to be about a 39 hour trip.
The states I will be driving through with this route will initially be Pennsylvania, then taking 81 down through Maryland, Virginia, into Tennessee then taking 40 through Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and then finally Arizona where I pick up 93 in Kingman and take it up to 515 and finally get to Vegas.
Thoughts?

Any private business open to the PUBLIC (ie. droned out casinos) cannot have a criminal trespass enforced against an individual without GOOD CAUSE (Disruptive or Disorderly conduct). You will never go to prison for being thrown out of a casino for legal advantage play and then returning because it's simply unconstitutional 'as applied' to the individual. 'As applied' constitutional issues must FIRST be raised in DISTRICT COURT (trial court) to have it thrown out.

Car manufacturers default window tint is at least 70%. The lower the number, the darker it is. If I'm not mistaken, for the most part:
Regular (default) windows -- 70% -- very easy to see through, no tint
Lightly tinted (my rear windows in my car) -- 35% -- appear tinted but can still see through
Dark tint -- 20% -- obviously tinted, can't see through at night, might be able to see through during day (barely)
Very dark tint -- 5% -- limo tint....can't see through it whatsoever, unless you put your face right up to it
I'd probably wait till summer time to tint your windows. The heat and sunlight help set it the right way. I got mine done in the winter (northern MW area) and it got f***ed up, although hard to tell. I might re-do my windows, probably 20% in the back and 35% in the front.
