Try in the states if the police stop you and search your car and find a large amount of cash they can and have confiscated it. Good luck getting it back because it is up to you to prove you obtained it legally. They have ruined a few lives by this tactic.

Donald land is the last place on earth I would visit.

No, it happened at a military checkpoint on the Mae Sai - Tak road. The two men were on their way to Bangkok after coming from Myawaddy town, Burma. 

Driver Ong Muang Yajing, 32 from Chiang Mai is probably Thai.

Mae Sot not Mae Sai

Agree.

If I threw a hissy fit with my bank and decided to take out 2 mil and put it in another bank what does that have to do with police/army when it's in my car?

If you do that you will have a proof from your bank but that guy don't have.

Good spot, thank you. I am embarrassed to say I've been to Mae Sot many times, only once to Mae Sai.

Sad, but true.  
 

And many more victims of various others forms of forfeiture laws.
