    A 91 year old woman in Kristianstad tried to simply deposit her 108,000 SEK (approx. 12000 USD), which was her life savings. The bank refused to accept the notes, because the woman could not explain where they came from. The woman saved the first money in the drawer, because she did not trust banks. Then in a safety deposit box. Saving money and then trying to deposit it in a bank is rapidly becoming a crime as we move deeper into the age of authoritarian government because socialism is collapsing and government are desperate for money.

    Because the woman had no proof of where they came from, the bank refused to receive notes with reference to the Riksbank’s regulations. The woman appealed to the Administrative Court explaining that she was not a criminal and not present a criminal record. She has lived efficient and economical, and now wanted to splurge a little during his last years of life. The regulations that are depriving this woman of her life savings according to the Riksbank requires a person not to have been convicted of a crime for redemption of banknotes previously. The Administrative Court allowed no other conclusion than the Riksbank and reject the appeal.

    The government stole the life savings of a 91 year-old woman who wanted to splurge before she died. Welcome to the reality of socialism. If you really think socialist care about people, go to Venezuela.

    Last sentence is the key. Socialists don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about people, not in the leadership class. They only care about power. That's what the fools who vote for such policies never comprehend. This is why big government always leads to corruption and an ever growing thirst for money. Socialists always talk about the dreamed utopia, but it never manifests and the debt, corruption and power grabs only continue to increase.

    Hell, this happens here in America. Have a wad of cash on you, get stopped by the cops and see what happens. They don't have to prove the money isn't legit to keep it, but you do.

    Civil forfeiture.. The reason i told people not to be so happy about Holder not being AG.. Lynch 100 % supports it. For that i was called a racist... Things dont change much now do they.

    Just saying the grass isnt always greener... The left focused on her skin tone and not her record.. Just found it ironic those who only liked her because of her skin tone called me racist.

    After the Tarmac incident... Well we all know her record as an AG now dont we.

    How did you survive the first few years of the Obama administration without having already been called a racist? Liberals named me a racist even before Obama was inaugurated because I didn't vote for him or think him qualified to be president. Turns out Obama was a horrible president...

    It would appear the liberal progressives have finally come unhinged. I can hardly wait for Trump's inauguration, every day here will be a new and improved lesson on liberal hypocrisy, as they turn into every thing they hated about Republicans. The best part is that there are thousands and thousands of posts we can draw on to prove this hypocrisy. The next four years will be funny, if nothing else...

    Civil forfeiture has been going on long before Holder, and it has nothing to do with racism. I am in appeals with a case now!!!!

    And yet Lynch supports it.. I brought this up when Obama picked her as a Holder replacement and your ilk called me "racist"... No "racism" had nothing to do with it just pointing out the Progressive attack strategy..

    Hint it failed

    That's true. It started a long time ago, but Obama definitely didn't want to end it. Bush didn't address it either as he was a statist at his core also. Maybe Trump will do something about this. Who knows? If he would just make the agents who do this accountable, meaning personally liable, I think that would do a lot to stop it.

    Good luck on your case, but watch out for corruption in the court system. It's rampant. They always want the government or the banks to win regardless of what the Constitution says.

    If that's really why you were called a racist then that's idiotic. It's an awful practice and one the new AG also seems to support. I hope your outrage continues with a new administration.

    The goal is to move away from any cash so the government has complete control of the people

    If you didn't vote for the black man Obama, or any black man, then you are racist. Doesn't matter how inept or hopeless the man is (turning MLK's call, to judge a man by the content of his character, on it's head....can you believe liberals used to think this way?).
    Unless of course if the black is a conservative. Then political allegiance beats race.

    If so then I have a real issue with the new AG.
    Let's see if Trump comes down on the side of the globalists and bankers on this one.

    Civil asset forfeiture is just another consequence of the "War on..." mentality whereby weak-minded voters can be fooled into voting for autocratic policies after the media has poisoned them into believing that their communities are cesspools of crime and violence. Some communities are admittedly, most are not. "Getting tough on..." sells in this country, and we have earned that due to complacency and ignorance in the citizenry. The net is beginning to shine light on these egregious rights violations, but not quickly enough. Guess who doesn't cover these stories? Media. Guess who is embarrassed, shamed or stifled into silence? The victims.

    The next time you hear "we need to crack down on... drugs, duis, prostitution, crime, gambling, whatever," know that public health and safety takes a back seat to revenue and power growth in the bureaucracy ALWAYS. Those people aren't "civil servants" or "officers of the peace," but thugs who know how to capitalize and exploit poorly drafted statutes and ordinances for their own gain.

    We have no one but ourselves to blame in not standing up and being heard on this issue. The next time you see a shiny new unnecessarily luxurious cop/dog car with the slogan "paid for by drug and dui arrests" (which we sadly have in my neck of the woods), DO SOMETHING. Call, write your representatives. GO to your city and county commission meetings with gathered evidence of arbitrary seizures to present.

    Seeing that blacks can't even rule themselves,and have never built any kind of civil society. Not to mention,every time they are handed the reigns ,everything goes to hell. What sense does it make to have them in a government ruling over you? See,this statement is going to be labeled racist...so the truth is racist...See the brainwashing they have people under?

    A bank shouldn't have to accept money. However they shouldn't be allowed to just confiscate it on the spot. No bank wants to house money potentially obtained illegally.

    I believe they a legal responsibility to not accept it, but to have the legal right to take it, is justice run amok.

    Trump might actually put a stop to it. Lets point it out to him.

    I think a couple of things need to be clarified, in spite of your insults and flamebaiting at the end of your post. Don't do that stuff, it discourages respectful discussions.

    First, her claim of "not trusting banks" is slightly dubious, since having such a sum of money would disqualify her from certain benefits she was receiving, meaning she in all likelihood kept the money in cash in order to scam the government.

    Second, she could have deposited all that money at any time she wanted, but not all at once. She only decided to do it now because the bills were outdated and were no longer valid.

    Third, nobody took her money away, she decided to wait until the bills were invalid before depositing them. That can hardly be blamed on the government. Keeping buckets of cash around your house and letting them become invalid as payment is not the fault of the government, whichever way you twist it.

    Lol...Don't count on it. Right-wingers' faux outrage is very selective.
