A friend of mine told me a story about a guy he knows that was taking $15,000 to some ranch that he owed money for whatever reason. On the way the guy was stopped by a state trooper. The trooper stopped him for changing lanes without using a signal, but asked him why he had $15,000. The guy told the cop why and they called the ranch owner to confirm his story.
They guy asked the cop how he knew how much money he had and the cop told him they have a device that can read the magnetic strips in the bills.
What the hell? Does anyone else know about this? I have been searching for info. but haven't found a good source yet.

I actually sell schematics to anti-scanners or "jammers" that work for the magnetic strips in currency.

I thought any deposit in cash that was $2000 and over had to be checked by IRS too, but not like $1999

That is actually, and I hate to use the term, but somewhat of a "conspiracy". Trust me, the technology to read your paper currency has long existed.

Of course. I use that technology to get chips and soda from my vending machine.
My cell phone can even identify dollars visually.

Drug smugglers...is that the only criminal that smuggles money? ?

I asked him if he knew the guy this happened to and he said that his friend who owns a barber shop was told by one his clients that this happened to them. I don't know how they came about acquiring that in cash.
As I understand, the government looks into any bank transaction larger than $10,000 though I could be wrong.
I guess he could have made three withdrawals of $5,000.
Maybe the cop knew about the money because the bank was suspicious and the pig was just fucking with his head... ?
I don't know, just what I heard. Thought I would see if anyone around here could clarify this for us.
If the strip in bills is magnetic would it not do something weird if put in a microwave? I don't have a microwave otherwise I would have already tried this. Quick, someone go microwave their money!

Your buddy should not have told the cop anything. Never tell the cops anything. Why doesn't everybody do this
