It's reasonable to assume that some of y'all travel across country carrying a significant amount of cash while buying and selling tractors and conducting other business.
DO NOT CROSS SEWARD COUNTY, NEBRASKA ON INTERSTATE 80 WHILE CARRYING ANY AMOUNT OF CASH!! Seward County is the first county west of the city of Lincoln.
The Seward County Sheriff's Department seems to have a nose for vehicles carrying cash, legal or otherwise. They'll initiate a traffic stop, usually on one of three infractions, speeding, not signaling a lane change, or following too closely. They then find reason to search the vehicle and if they find any amount of cash they fill confiscate it, even if it's legal.
The Deputy will then threaten the driver with immediate jail unless he/she signs an agreement that they will not pursue legal action to retrieve their money. Most times the legalities in retrieving the money cost more than the money itself.
Granted, a lot of it IS drug money as I-80 is the main corridor east/west across the country, but too much of it is legitimate. A story came out in yesterday's newspaper about a man who was found to have $18,000 cash in his rented car. He was on his way to Las Vegas on vacation and intended to do some serious gambling. He said he intended to buy a car in Vegas if he had enough money left over after gambling. There is no law against carrying any amount of cash.
It pains me to admit this, because Seward County is my home county and I was once a County Commissioner. In fact, I recall a number of years ago as a Commissioner I had a heated conversation with a former Sheriff about the practice. Apparently they've elevated it to an art form since then.
