Cambon Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 What a load of cock. Do they really think it will make the slightest difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manshimajin Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 What a load of cock. Do they really think it will make the slightest difference? Of course!!! Once this legislation comes into effect the Island's massive population of international terrorists, crime bosses and drug lords will be tripping over each other to declare that they are carrying Euro 10,000 into the Island. They will no doubt have to produce two forms of identity to go with it...difficult for Osama bin Laden who likes to travel incognito. And will they have body searches at the Airport and the Ferry? Sniffer dogs trained to smell banknotes? This sounds like Dame Edna Everidge's 'Colour and movement' - keep whirling around waving your arms and people will think that you are doing something about terror, crime and drugs...

Lost Login Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 What a load of cock. Do they really think it will make the slightest difference? Maybe not in the IoM but we are coming into step with Europe. I understand bundles of notes can be detected by xray machines and if that puts off or helps catch people dealing in drugs I am all for in. Presumably before if they had large bundles of cash they little could be done about it, now it will be an offense so presumably it can be confiscated etc. I think the law also requires retailers to report when people pay with large amounts of cash. I think it is the same threshold which may make it more difficult for the those who get cash illegally e.g. drug dealers to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Its more common than you think travelling with large amounts of cash. An ex relative of mine used to travel regular to France with a case containing more than a 100K of cash. He was a financial investor for one of the major off shore banks and took the cash to clients. Its not the chaved up burbery boys with a wad of cash they're from the latest smack deal i think they're after here, more the so called respectable type of crook. Dodgy as fuck id say!

Agreed this only mirrors what I think is already in within Europe as part of a recent Directive on movements of cross border cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this to keep tabs on people doing dodgy deals or something like that? I suppose if I took my family over on hols, we could take £10k each then?
