All Torhs Team 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Isn't sending cash money in the mail against the law?I got a ticket in Missouri, and I live in Illinois. But its just a ticket that I can pay off, SO I'm keeping it on the down low with my parents. AKA Im not telling my parents, Im just going to send the money to Missouri.My question is though..since I dont have a check book how could I send them their money? Since Im sending money to a municipal court in MO, would they get on me for sending them cash in a letter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 It's not against the law (that I am aware), but there is no way to protect yourself if the mail is lost.Is there a way to pay the ticket online? My last parking ticket could be paid online... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chef_ducky 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Go to the bank....They will make a check, or as already mentioned a money order for you for a small charge....In Canada, that is not illegal. Weird. How bad was the charge?If you don't mind me asking of course? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mack 44 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 If sending cash is illegal how many grandmothers get sentenced after a grandkid's birthday?Just send a MO as it's going to be the cheapest way. The debit/cash cards from stores or banks can cost around $5 just to activate and I think a MO from the post office is around $1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustpot 1 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Give the cash to a pal who has a credit card. Mailing money is stupid, and most municipal offices I've dealt with won't take cash (so they don't keep a cash drawer/box that can get stolen or pilfered by employees).
