>With the Dollar, as it currently exists, a person can conduct any transaction in cash without the government even knowing about it, and the government is certainly not able to intervene. If you have enough cash, and you want to purchase any product or service that is legal and not highly regulated, you can do it. Period. If the president of the United States does not want you to buy it, that's just tough, you can buy it and he'll never know. If you want to give money to a friend or family member, you can do it, and the government will not know and cannot block it.
If you have enough cash, and you want to purchase any product or service that is legal and not highly regulated, and the Government finds out you have enough cash, they can simply take it under Civil asset forfeiture and if you're lucky, after a couple years of foot dragging and a hundred thousand dollars of legal expenses you'll get your cash back.
Civil Asset Forfeiture has considerable constitutional problems involving
- The Fourth Amendment, unreasonable searches and seizures
- The Fourth Amendment, warrants must be issued by a judge or magistrate, justified by probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation
- The Fifth Amendment, due process clause stating that no person shall "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"
- The Eighth Amendment, excessive Fines clause,
- The Fourteenth Amendment, Due Process Clause,
- The Fourteenth Amendment, to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws
and have parallels to the British Navigation Acts and the writ of assistance a major precipitating factor in the American Revolution.
