Safe Deposit Boxes

Most of these RICO seizures do not make the headlines. These are not as uncommon as you say. If you are accused of a drug or gambling offense (nothing proven just accused) you lose whatever is in your box (and even if you are proven innocent in court good luck getting it back).

Nor does it disprove it. Add a big bad dog and cameras to the house in question and the SDB starts to look a little lacking. that being said I have a box

 

It's just like anything else. You can lose your car too...but that isn't a reason not to have one.

for those who missed the video it is here. Most seizures are not of this type though most are related to RICO laws and those type of seizures are a very common (everyday) thing.

 

They do seize cars also, by that comment I see that you know what I am talking about.

 

You make it sound like it's a normal bank event. That's just not the case. Sure, there are times when the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act is enforced. I have never seen it occur. Like I said, we had one box drilled at the bank I worked at and it was a BIG deal.

What is that supposed to mean? Here's a novel idea...don't commit federal crimes and your box will be fine.

 

These people are innocent, they have not been convicted of anything.

 

Why wouldn't I know about it. I can assure you, we only had one box drilled. It's not something they can do secretly. It must be done during bank hours because that's when the vault is open.

 

No boxes are drilled when property is seized (keys are used).

 

"
* Nearly three-fourths of the people who lose property in forfeiture cases are never charged with a crime.
* About two-thirds of the people who had property seized had no criminal records in Maricopa County.
* One of every six people whose property was seized was an uninvolved third party who was not even present when the property was taken. Typically these were parents, siblings, boyfriends, or girlfriends who entrusted their cars or other property to someone who was arrested on a narcotics-related charge.
* More than $4 million in cash - 54.8% of that taken - was seized from people who were never charged with a crime.
* More than 800 cars - 72% of those taken - were seized from people who were never charged with a crime.
* More than 500 guns - 65.6% of those taken - were seized from people who were never charged with a crime.
* Of the more than 2,400 people whose property was seized, only one in five was ultimately convicted.
* Only one in 20 went to prison.
* One in 40 went to prison for five years or more, even though those are the people most likely to be the kingpins at which the law is aimed.
* For every person imprisoned five years or more, six uninvolved third parties lost property to forfeitures.
* Despite the law's stated aim of breaking wealthy crime organizations, the average cash seizure is $3,063.
* According to the Mesa Tribune study, the nine agencies raised $26.5 million in that time period. Typically, forfeiture profits are divided among the agencies that contributed to the case.

These numbers apply to one county (Arizona's Maricopa county)

Danr I'm gonna give you some props on that one.

 

I don' think I will post on this thread anymore since it is getting political.

 

How would they get the keys?

 

so we won't really know how this virus will affect the world until the fall - winter.

So Desertgem. Will you and your family all be ready to take your mandatory boogie man shots this fall? I can tell ya..not my family brother.

 

In the case that I am familiar with they were in the apt. Anyway I am posting after I said I would not

 

I don't know, it's just a nice thing to have your coins close to ya. You know, if people took them and put them in safes then what would be the point of collecting them?

 

That's why I keep some at home and when I'm done with them I'll go to the vault put those coins back in and take some new ones out . I don't keep the lower value coins in a bank vault unless going on vacation . Plus my bank is three minutes away , and has very good hours .
