Question: Is it illegal to burn money?

Written by , Posted in Statutory Law

Answer: Yes. There is actually a law against burning money.  According to Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code, it is illegal to “mutilate, cut, deface, disfigure, or perforate, or unite or cement together, or do any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued.”

While the law does not explicitly mention “burning,” this act clearly fits into the category of mutilation or defacement intended to render the currency unfit for reissue. Thus, burning money in the U.S. could be deemed illegal under this statute, especially if done with the intent to deface or destroy the currency.

It’s unlikely you’ll face consequences if you’re burning a small amount of money in private, but know that technically it’s illegal. Also, there’s a difference between burning a few small bills as a symbolic gesture versus systematically destroying large sums of money. Burning a couple dollars might go unnoticed, but setting hundreds of thousands of Dollars ablaze is much more likely to attract legal scrutiny.

Why Is it Illegal?

Burning or otherwise mutilating money is illegal because the government wants to preserve the integrity and stability of the nation’s currency system. There are several key reasons behind why they made laws against burning currency:

  1. Preservation of National Wealth: Currency represents a country’s economic stability and wealth. When money is destroyed, especially in large quantities, it can potentially lead to a loss in the overall monetary supply, affecting the nation’s economy. Although the physical act of burning a small amount of currency might not significantly impact an economy, the legality sets a precedent to prevent more substantial losses. In the past, when only physical money existed, this was a big deal and laws were needed to protect the money supply against nefarious actions by enemy states or in times of revelation or civil war.
  2. Cost of Replacement: Money that is damaged or destroyed needs to be replaced, which incurs a cost. Printing new currency involves significant resources, including materials, labor, and security measures. Laws against mutilating currency help minimize these unnecessary expenses.
  3. Trust in the Currency System: Confidence in the currency system is crucial for its stability. Laws against destroying currency reinforce the idea that the national currency is a protected and valued symbol of the economy. Such legal protections help maintain public and international confidence in the currency’s value and stability.
  4. Prevention of Fraud: We think a BIIIG reason for these laws is to prevent fraud! By making it a crime to mutilate currency, the government can prosecute attempts to alter banknotes to increase their value or to reuse materials from higher denomination notes for counterfeiting purposes.
  5. Cultural and Symbolic Respect: Currency often carries significant cultural and historical symbols. Laws against destroying currency also serve to respect and preserve these symbols, which might represent important national figures, historical events, or national heritage.

As satisfying as it might feel to set your cash aflame, in the U.S. and many other countries, burning money is generally illegal when done with currency that is still in circulation. Engaging in such behavior can result in fines and even imprisonment, especially if done on a large scale or with fraudulent intent.

What About Burning Money for Artistic or Political Statements?

There might be certain artistic or expressive contexts, like a film production or political protest, where burning a small amount of money could potentially be permitted as free speech. It’s advisable to check the laws and regulations in your local area or consult with a legal professional to understand the specifics regarding money burning.

While freedom of expression is protected under the First Amendment in the United States, the law against currency mutilation remains applicable. That said, the government’s interest in prosecuting such cases might weigh the public interest in freedom of expression against the need to maintain the integrity of the currency. In other countries, laws and enforcement will vary, and such acts could be more likely to result in legal consequences, particularly if they’re viewed as damaging to the national economy or disrespectful to national symbols. In other words, in 2024 we’d recommend not setting Rubles on fire in Moscow as an act of protest against Putin’s government.

In Summary

In conclusion, while the act of burning money may be seen by some as a form of expression or protest, it is important to be aware of the legal boundaries within your jurisdiction. Given the potential for fines and imprisonment, those considering such actions should thoroughly understand their local laws and weigh the consequences. We’d recommend consulting with a legal professional can provide clarity and guidance on this complex issue.

Question: Is It Legal to Buy Yourself Testosterone Online? Without Prescription?

Written by , Posted in Criminal Law

Answer: It depends. It is not legal without a prescription in the United States and many other countries. Testosterone is a controlled substance that is heavily regulated by law due to its potential for abuse and adverse health affects if implemented incorrectly (ala “bro science”). If you are considering doing this and buying illegally, we’d recommend against it. Testosterone however is perfectly legal to buy with a prescription, regardless of if you’re using an online pharmacy or a traditional pharmacy.

Unlike other illicit drugs, your body naturally produces testosterone and the substance itself is not illegal obviously, but acquiring synthetic versions of it illegally is. If you’re on a “cycle” taking some T and getting your hands on some for personal use, it’s honestly quite unlikely that you will ever get caught with it and prosecuted by law enforcement, but a misdemeanor can always happen.

Buying in bulk and distributing to your workout buddies however is much more risky. Especially if importing and transporting across state lines, which can be a felony. For example, in 2022, a man was sentenced to 1 year in prison for illegally distributing anabolic steroids, including testosterone without a prescription!

Various Laws That Govern Testosterone in the US

Controlled Substances Act (CSA)

  • Purchased (synthetic) Testosterone is classified as a Schedule III drug under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
  • Schedule III drugs have a moderate to low potential for abuse and dependence, but still require strict regulation.

Regulation by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)

  • The DEA enforces stringent safeguards in the prescribing and dispensing of testosterone.
  • Legitimate medical use of it requires a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare provider.
  • Prescriptions must be based on a genuine doctor-patient relationship and a legitimate medical need.

Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990

  • This act placed testosterone and other anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) under CSA Schedule III.
  • It addressed the growing problem of illegal distribution and use of AAS for non-medical purposes, such as performance enhancement in sports.

(( See our detailed page on buying anabolic steroids online and its legality ))

What About TRT, Is That Something That’s Legal ?

Yes, millions of men in the US are on prescription TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) so we’d suggest that. It isn’t always cheap though, especially if you have no insurance. But it is the only legal option available in the U.S.

Note that you don’t need a specialist TRT clinic–your urologist is perfectly capable and legally allowed to prescribe you testosterone. Most insurances should cover this and you can get a referral from your primary care doctor.

If you need a larger dose for your “cycle” than what a doctor will legally give you, or you have T that’s naturally high enough to not warrant “replacement,” alternative compounds that don’t require a clinic to prescribe, such as Testo Max and HGH-X2, might be an option for you as well.

Summary

In summary, buying testosterone without a prescription is not only illegal but also unsafe. Synthetic Test is a controlled substance for good reason – it has the potential for abuse and can cause serious health problems when misused.

If you’re researching where to acquire, the only legal and safe way to obtain T is through a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare provider, following a proper diagnosis of clinically significant deficiency.

Question: Is Tren Legal?

Written by , Posted in Criminal Law

Answer: No. If you’re buying it for yourself (a human) or another person for their use, it is not legal and we’d advise against it. Tren (also known as Trenbolone) however is perfectly legal for veterinary use.

If you’re on a “cycle” taking Tren and buying small amounts for yourself, it’s honestly quite unlikely that you will ever get caught with it and prosecuted by law enforcement, but a misdemeanor can always happen.

tren and test cyp injection needle photoIf you’re buying Tren in bulk and distributing it and are a “dealer,” then things get much more dicey and you can be heavily in felony territory for potential interstate drug trafficking and other federal and state charges. The “it’s for cattle!” argument may or may not hold up with the local police or the courtroom. Also, if you’re doing other illegal activities at the same time, then your risk profile goes much higher. As many defense lawyers would advise their clients, “only commit one felony at a time!”

Regardless, each year hundreds of thousands of bodybuilding and strength training men in the U.S. (and worldwide) skirt the law indulge in this anabolic steroid and swear by it due to it’s powerful effects on their physical and mental state. If the failed war on drugs is any indication, this trend will continue in the black market anabolic steroids world as well.

If you’ve already made up your mind and want to get started taking Tren regardless of the legal aspects, you may want to first explore some of the legal SARMS available such as TRENOROL and D-BAL MAX. Users report that they are extremely potent, so you might not even need anything else riskier from a hormonal and legal perspective.

Legal Status of Trenbolone in Human Use

Globally, the legal framework governing Trenbolone’s use in humans is quite stringent due to its popularity. It is classified as a controlled substance in many countries, reflecting its potential for abuse and health risks.

Legal Implications: The classification of Trenbolone as a Schedule III controlled substance makes it illegal to possess, distribute, or manufacture the substance without proper authorization, such as a prescription or a license. Violating these regulations can result in significant legal consequences, including fines and imprisonment. This rarely happens for small amounts and we haven’t heard of a case like this coming across the desk of a defense lawyer we know, but it can and does happen.

United States: The Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 1990 placed Trenbolone on the list of controlled substances, making its possession without a prescription illegal. Under this Act, it was classified as a Schedule III controlled substance. This classification indicates that Tren has a potential for abuse less than the substances in Schedules I and II (which include substances like cocaine and methamphetamine) and abuse may lead to moderate or low physical dependence or high psychological dependence. Of course this addiction-based logic isn’t exactly realistic for anabolic steroids, but we feel that it was difficult to write a separate law just for steroids on the grounds of public health so this was the path that lawmakers chose.

Enforcement and Penalties: The enforcement of the Anabolic Steroid Control Act is carried out by various federal agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The penalties for trafficking, manufacturing, or possessing anabolic steroids like Trenbolone can be severe. Trafficking penalties are felonies and can range from five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for a first offense, with increased penalties for subsequent offenses. In some states, jail time for selling controlled substances can range from six months to 20 years, depending on the offense and your criminal history. Ouch!

Note: Law enforcement in many left-leaning states and cities look the other way when they see needles, and states such as Oregon have completely decriminalized possession of small amounts of hard drugs, so we wouldn’t expect much legal troubles there for users with small amounts of anabolic steroids such as Tren or equipoise, masteron, deca-durabolin, winstrol, dianabol, etc. But it can still happen of course, and we wouldn’t recommend it.

Legality outside of the USA?  Please do your own research and get legal counsel in whichever country you’re in if you plan to consume Tren in as part of your strength training routine. Below is a general guideline however for Americans traveling abroad to common destinations:

European Union: Similar controls exist, with member states enforcing regulations that prohibit the sale and possession of Trenbolone for human use. The classification and control of substances like this for human use are outlined by the Council Directive 2001/83/EC, which provides a code for human medicines. This directive lays the groundwork for member states to categorize Trenbolone as a controlled substance, with its possession and sale without authorization being prohibited.

Canada and Australia: These countries also classify Trenbolone as a controlled substance, highlighting a global consensus on its regulation. In Canada, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (SC 1996, c 19) serves as the cornerstone for drug control policies, including the regulation of anabolic steroids. In Australia, it’s is classified under Schedule 4 (Prescription Only Medicine) and Schedule 9 (Prohibited Substance) in the SUSMP, depending on its form and intended use. Schedule 4 classification allows for its use in veterinary medicine under strict control, while Schedule 9 reflects its illegal status for human use, prohibiting its sale, supply, and possession. Australia is particularly strict on all forms of illegal substances, and it’s border is heavily monitored, much more than any other country in our experience.

Legal Use in Veterinary Medicine and Livestock Management

trenbolone acetate vial and boxDespite its prohibition in human medicine, Trenbolone is widely used in veterinary practices, particularly in livestock management, to promote muscle growth and appetite.  This means that it’s easier for individuals to get their hands on this compound, since it’s legally made and sold.

  • Veterinary Regulations: In the US, Trenbolone is available for use in livestock through veterinary prescription under specific guidelines set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It increases protein synthesis, enhancing the efficiency of meat production. This drug was primarily designed to promote muscle mass and appetite in cattle during transportation, ensuring that animals could maintain their weight and condition even when food was scarce during long hauls on trucks/trains. It is sold under brand names such as Finajet and Finaplix, or as a generic injectibles and pellets.

 

Legality in Sports and Doping Regulations

The use of Tren in sports is prohibited by major anti-doping organizations due to its performance-enhancing effects.

  • Anti-Doping Regulations: The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) lists it as a banned substance in and out of competition.
  • Doping Cases: Athletes found using it face sanctions, including bans and disqualifications. An example is a sprinter who received a four-year ban after testing positive for Trenbolone.
  • Detection and Testing: Advanced methods, such as mass spectrometry, enable the detection of Trenbolone metabolites in urine samples, ensuring athletes’ compliance with anti-doping rules.

Additional Legal Aspects for Human Use

The illegal possesion and use of Tren carries significant legal penalties, reflecting the substance’s potential for harm.

  • Penalties: Depending on the jurisdiction, penalties can range from fines to imprisonment. For instance, under US federal law, unauthorized possession of anabolic steroids can lead to up to one year in prison for a first offense. Regarding distribution in the US, under 21 U.S.C. § 841, the line is clear. Sell or distribute steroids without authorization, and you’re in for trouble. Personal possession is less severe, but we still wouldn’t want to be caught up in it. Note: See our detailed page on testosterone and buying illicitly versus a TRT doctor
  • Legal Defenses: In rare cases, defenses such as medical necessity might be considered, although this is uncommon for Trenbolone due to its lack of approval for human use.
  • Prevalence of Misuse: Despite legal restrictions, this and other anabolic steroids remain popular among some bodybuilders and athletes seeking to enhance physical performance and appearance, indicating ongoing challenges in enforcement and education.

Question: Is it Legal to Register a Car in Montana?

Written by , Posted in Tax Law, Traffic Law

motor home driving on road with montana landscape

Answer: Yes. In Montana, like in any other state, it’s legal to register a car as long as you comply with the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requirements. There are no existing Montana regulations that prohibit individuals from purchasing a vehicle outside the state and then registering it under a shell corporation based in Montana.

It’s a legal loophole you can use, even if you’re from California.  Importantly, Montana does not require in-state vehicle inspections–and they don’t require to be driven or stored in-state either.

When considering registration in Montana, especially through a Montana Limited Liability Company (LLC), we should go over the legality and the various reasons to opt for this route, including tax benefits and avoiding state-specific regulations. Many high-Dollar cars, motor homes, boats and other toys are frequently registered in Montana. Here’s a more generalized overview of what you should know:

Tax and Registration Fee Savings

  • Using a Montana LLC for your car(s) registration and a MT title application can lead to significant savings on sales tax and registration fees, particularly if you reside in a state with high rates (such as California). For instance, one of my relatives has registered a motor home in Montana to avoid steep sales taxes and registration fees in their home state.
  • The financial benefit can be substantial, especially for high-value assets. A business acquaintance of ours managed to avoid taxes on over $500,000 worth of vehicles over several years through a Montana LLC.

Avoiding State-Specific Emissions and Smog Requirements

  • Montana’s lack of smog laws is a benefit, especially if you own older cars and trucks that might not pass smog checks in states with stringent environmental regulations. Registering an older high-value sports car or vehicle that’s not yet considered a classic but is challenging to get smogged in CA for instance is a common candidate. I’ve seen modified ZR-1 Corvettes and Zl-1 Camaros with MT license plates at Cars and Coffee more than a few times. But typically it’s the exotics like Ferrari’s and Lamborghinis that cost over $500,000 new who’s owners elect to go the Montana registration route.

Financing and Insurance

  • Securing financing for a car under a Montana LLC can be challenging, as not all financial institutions provide loans for vehicles registered to an out-of-state LLC. Nonetheless, there are specific lenders that cater to these situations.
  • It’s possible to insure the car in the state where it’s primarily used, adding the Montana LLC as an additional insured.

Enforcement and Legal Aspects

  • To avoid tax liabilities, legally I’d advise to keep the car out of the state where it’s normally used for at least one year. I’ve heard a story of California’s tax department coming after someone for not adhering to this guideline.
  • Ensure that the car’s and LLC’s names and addresses match for valid registration. If authorities start inquiring, they might request documentation to verify the legitimacy of the registration. Be aware that in California and Arizona there are apparently hotlines for “tips” that a neighbor or passerby can use to report you. Enforcement is usually up to a given state’s revenue department, not the police. For example in Arizona, there is a department with a dedicated unit focused on collecting use and sales taxes from high-value vehicles that reside in Arizona but are not registered there. To enforce this, officials from the department attend events like Cars and Coffee and other major auto shows. They document cars, trucks, motorhomes etc. with out-of-state registrations, especially those seen repeatedly at these events. While some vehicle owners are caught and penalized for this practice, others manage to avoid detection.To avoid falsifying records, you’d have to act preemptively and have your ducks in a row.This process is similar to tax planning, where you need to plan ahead and put the things in place that you may need in the future. Remember that tax avoidance is a virtuous obligation. Tax evasion is a crime. Some hypothetical examples could include:
    • Arranging with a storage facility or a person with property in Montana to rent a parking space. This should be a formal agreement, in writing, signed and countersigned, for a specific car and VIN, offering more tangible proof of your car’s connection to Montana. It can be in perpetuity and for a nominal sum if you can make that work.
    • Having evidence of frequent travel to Montana.
  • What About U-Haul and other commercial vehicles? There’s plenty of locations in California for instance but NONE of the trucks have California plates or registrations!
    • Well, based on the International Registration Plan (IRP), a cooperative agreement established among the states and provinces of the United States and Canada in the early 1970s, vehicles operated by U-Haul are designated as commercial vehicles. These vehicles are licensed and registered in accordance with the IRP, which facilitates the apportionment and distribution of vehicle registration fees among the jurisdictions based on the total distance operated in each. U-Haul is subject to the payment of registration fees at a rate significantly higher than that imposed on non-commercial or personal vehicles.

The How-To’s of Registering

To register a car in Montana, you’d essentially need to fill out some forms and do the following:

Open LLC in Montana (Bennett Law in Missoula is one of many choices, for example), with you as the owner or partner. The car would be obviously purchased in said LLC’s name. Typically the process involves selecting a business name, filing Articles of Organization, appointing a registered agent in Montana, obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN), and optionally creating an operating agreement (all things your law firm will do for you in a matter of minutes).

Then you can simply drive the car as named driver on the registration of the company-owned car, or what some opt to do is create a contract for an auto rental (think long-term exotic car rental) where you as a driver are renting the car from the company. This creates different (sometimes beneficial) tax situations, as well as gives you an easier “out” if a police officers wants to challenge your claim.

Other things you’d need:

  1. Proof of Ownership: Typically, a car title.
  2. Proof of Insurance: Montana requires minimum liability insurance.
  3. Valid Identification: Such as a driver’s license.
  4. Payment of Fees: Including registration fees, which vary based on the car’s age, type, and other factors.

Costs Involved

  • Setting up an LLC in Montana might cost around $1,000 and can be completed relatively quickly. The exact fees and annual costs can vary depending on the car’s value.

Re-cap

Registering a car in Montana through an LLC is a legal option that offers financial and other advantages. However, it’s crucial to consider the implications related to financing, insurance, and legal compliance in both Montana and your home state. At any rate, we’d highly recommend you talk with an attorney, and careful planning and understanding of the rules to ensure everything is in order.
