Most US paper money has traces of cocaine so is there a minimum about that you have to have to be charged?

That just depends on what the Prosecutor is comfortable with. Trace amounts are considered a Felony in all 50 states.

Im pretty sure if you go to the NYPD repossesion dept you will find plenty of digital scales (that were once used for weighing such things as cocaine and marijuana) at a reasonable price

depending on the state and judge is what counts. In california many are given a citation with a court date.If minor has no prior history of possesion he could be given a fine to pay and/or community service.But dont worry about that start worrying of re ridding the use of the drug and the addiction

There's supposed to be, but it's not fool-proof yet. Any one who knows about this, and knows where, when and who should report it. The business who is allowing large sales of medicine, unless it is to a doctor or a pharmacist, could be charged I believe. I would talk to someone in the know about it, police or your doctor. Just say you're concerned about it, and you would like to know if it's legal or what.

The limit on cash and other monies (coins, etc) is $10,000 total. One thing I heard in the past was that the government is able to train dogs to smell large cash quantities. How they do it i dont know. If you want more info on regs and reporting procedures - see link below.

The absolute minimum is that you would have to return any money you received as a result of the fraud. Depending on the severity, you could also have to pay fines and interest and even be imprisoned.

It is is a fairly common belief, so you'd think that the website for the U.S. Treasury Bureaus would answer this somewhere, wouldn't you? While I found much information about how to replace mutilated currency, I found no official law about defacing currency listed anywhere on the U.S. Treasury Bureaus site, nor the one for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, or even the U.S. Mint. With this lack of solid information from our beloved bureaucrats, I have to rely on common sense and a bit of deductive reasoning. Given the fact that many laws outright defy both of these, do not take this answer as legal advice.\n\nMy first clue that defacing currency in and of itself may not be a crime comes from penny arcade machines across the country. At many museums, zoos, and assorted tourist traps you can drop a perfectly useless penny into a machine, turn a crank and be rewarded with a stamped flat bit of copper featuring a squished Lincoln head and the logo "I visited Treefrog, Arizona." As common as these are, I'm reasonably certain that if defacing coins like that were illegal, these machines wouldn't be out there. They'd be hidden in the back room with the slot machines instead! \n\nNow what is most certainly illegal is if you alter a coin or a bill in such a way as to obscure it's denomination and then attempt to pass it off as one of higher value. You also can not circulate an altered bill for advertising purposes. (Presumably this means you could write "Eat At Joe's" on a dollar bill and keep it at home, hidden in a closet somewhere; pulling it out late at night to chortle to yourself over your evil deeds, but even if this was strictly illegal you could do this anyway.) \n\nBottom line: Feel free to put those coins on the railroad track, write "Clinton sucks" on all your dollars, or light your cigars with hundred dollar bills. Just don't try writing some extra zeros on a ten and try passing it off as a Franklin down at the Walmart.

Banks must report deposits of $10,000 or more.\nA bank transfer should be a problem, however, because you have proof it was only transferred from one account to another.\nPeople do that all the time when they close out accounts or certificates of deposit (cd)\n\nIt's only the deposits of big cash that trip the feds interest as the figure it's drug money

The specifics you gave, arrest, jail time, etc.. is obtainable from your local police department, they usually charge in the 10 to 15 dollar range for the time it requires to do the research, which isn`t bad. If it is out of state or in a different city, most cities have a web site you can find the info you need.

it depends on the state and the degree of the charges.

I think it depends on what kind of record it is.  First of all if you have a record for stealing, awning money, and maybe embezzlement then differently there would be a problem

that would depend on where the person's criminal background is. in some places it is available for free, other places you have to pay, and there are still other places that the information is not considered public record, and therefore not available to the general public.

If you wrote them and cashed them, I believe the charge is Grand Larceny.  That's a felony.

In CA , if the police officer can develop probable cause, he can search your car. This was put in place due to the mobility of vehicles. They can simply drive away before you can get a search warrant.\n\nThe simplest example is the smell of pot. If the officer smells it, he can search anywhere in the car where the pot might be. Anywhere. \n\nAnother example is the plain sight rule. If the officer sees contraband in plain sight he can seize it and search your car for more. Anything else reasonably found during the search is also legally obtained.\n\nI don't know where the other posters got their information, but whether or not you are a minor has no bearing.\n\nAs for the cocaine issue, what crime did the driver get charged with? What are you talking about? If a passenger has drugs on them, it is possible that the driver could be charged for transportation of drugs. As for claiming they didn't know about the drugs, would it surprise you to know that people lie to the police??

there wouldn't really be one. they can't prove you possessed a drug in the past, they have to roll you when you have it.

PUBLIC RECORDS is the key to your answer.\n\nHow much do they charge for records you can get for free, anyway?\n\n\nYou will not be doing anything illegal, however you may be spening money unwisely.  What will you do when they take your money adn send you a report that says they found nothing?
