[quote=FlyerInHi]If you use all cash, then you might be surveilled. plus you lose credit card points for free stuff.
You know, the reason there are fewer robberies in richer areas is because people don’t carry cash anymore. And richer people are likely to have security cameras.
But I get why you feel cash transactions are more desirable. But it would take a total change of thinking for people do that.
I carry cash to pay at gas stations (that give cash discounts) and restaurants, because I don’t want mom and pop stores to pay transaction fees. Plus sometimes I buy stuff from private sellers who want cash only.
But personal property confiscation by cop is very routine. They take your stuff and ask questions later. A friend of a friend was arrested at a bar in Florida recently (he was drunk and chucked a billiard ball at another customer) Cops took his wallet and his phone. He had an Apple watch that the cops didn’t take so he was able to alert his friends from the back the of patrol car. Alcohol makes you do stupid shit.
