No! Why would anyone carry cash these days? Even vending machines accept cards, phones, PayPal etc etc.

A couple more years and cops will just be robbing armored cars.  They're equipped for it.

I feel like I should be concerned(well if I actually had money), but the authors of articles on law enforcement acting like Big Brother always go to such lengths to assure me that I'm pretty safe as a white person.  :P

You mean to tell me that when I get pulled over the cops are looking for cash?

No!

This can't be true!

It's shocking!

I'm astounded!

:P

Hey, if that's banks' money, surely they did not get it by legal means.
