It’s Not a Good Idea to Tell Officers That You Don’t Pay Taxes

A man is accused of stalking. The police investigate, and arrest the man. He consents to a search of his apartment. The officers discover cash and electronics, and the man tells the officers that “…As to the large sums of cash on hand, he ventured that he neither trusted banks nor paid any taxes (federal or state).” He’s tried and convicted on tax evasion and appeals.

Hint: If you don’t pay taxes don’t tell that to the police! Joe Kristan has more on this man’s less than successful appeal.
