Police Take $10,000 From Couple With Baby On The Way

I've wondered if the metallic security strip in bills, I think $20.00 notes and larger, allows for large stacks of cash being easily detected via electronic scanning means. It would explain how easy they are able to "happen" upon large amounts of cash in a vehicle.

It doesnt but good idea i guess ?

How can you be so sure?

You're saying that PD have a an antennae to detect metallic strips in a dollar bill inside of a metal car.

It wouldn't be just an antennae. It would have to be some radar-like technology that returns a "hit" if encountering a large stack of bills. Not entirely out of the realm of reality, but I'm also not saying that it exists, more musing upon the idea. I mean, I've read about these instances of Civil Asset Forfeiture for about a decade now and the profit motive is a strong one!

Best to you!
