Where in all that is holy did you get this? There is no limit to the amount of cash a person can carry on them.

10k is the limit for international travel with out a declaration. 10k cash and above deposits into a bank account require the bank to notify the IRS.

If you are going to withdraw over 10k in cash and carry it with you, you should probably carry a receipt from the bank so if Barny Fife confiscates it from you due to suspicion you can get it back quickly.

Homes, vehicles, hi dollar merchandise such as TVs, are purchased each and every day with cash legally. Its not illegal to carry 12k on you and go buy an entire home entertainment system.


In Louisiana it is illegal apparently to pay cash for a secondhand transaction, effectively criminalizing all garage sale junkies. This however has no limit.

In Louisiana some Parishes approved laws on trafficking money over 10k. In Ouachita parish it can be confiscated and you can be charged. It is because of the drug trafficking through I-20. Maybe instead of being a smartass u should ask first. Not quiet sure where you are from but I am from Ouachita parish and a "barney" according to you.

Vermillion Parish. Born and raised. I didn't call you Barney but if you feel the need to take it personally.... Hondo

Charged with what? Carrying my own cash? Once I show a withdrawal slip, let's see it stick. Lets see a judge not return my cash.

BTW if you are going to state laws or enforce them maybe you should know them .... "I believe it's over $10k" tells me you don't know. You also stated "we caught him with"... So you arrested someone for breaking a law your not fully sure of?


Originally it was "agg flight and drag racing". So did he break your $10k law and not get arrested for it... Your story is rather confusing.
