Need FIRST HAND information on money scanners used through auto bodies.

I always carry three dollars in my billfold. So.....if I'm scanned - that will be their choice. My greatest dream - I come out of a store and somebody is busy under the Taco Wagon - trying to get at the cat converter. I can get in and get it moving before they get out from under........ the rest is best viewed in the wheel wells.

We have a sub discussion going on in the thread titled

Guy uses fake check to steal Massey tractor...recognize him?​

about whether law enforcement has scanners that read the denomination of bills inside people's cars, sometimes resulting in the money's  confiscation and forfeit ure. All of the reports of these incidents I remember were second hand information at best.

If anyone reading this has PERSONALLY been stopped by law enforcement because you were carrying a large amount of money that was detected by a scanner please describe your experience including how you know they used a scanner.

Note: I asked this question in a new thread because the subject isn't reflected in the title of the thread where the discussion is going on. I wanted anyone who might have been stopped because of a scanner to see it and respond.
Many thanks,
Stuck

The scanner story first came to my attention in a Yahoo group probably ten or fifteen years ago. It sounded to me like an urban legend then and it still does. That's just my opinion, I don't travel with large sums of cash and have nothing to lose if I'm wrong.
