I just stumbled upon someone asking how much cash he can carry on himself without a risk of a police officer taking it away. Then when I scrolled through comments it sounded like a police officer can decide to take away your money and NEVER EVER give it back!
Is that actually true??? I mean, the idea that police officer can take your money if they decide you have “too much” on you is insane already. But even if so, there is no way you can’t then go to police station or something and get it back!

This could be completely off base but IIRC, I read a comment that the reason why the ‘stereotypical’ pimp is depicted with lots of gold chains was because it circumvented the civil asset forfeiture law.
Eg. They get arrested with thousands of dollars in cash that can easily be argued were proceeds of crime & then it gets confiscated.
But the gold chain is a personal item that can’t easily be seized (legally) so they give the chain to an associate (who wasn’t arrested or held) who goes to the pawn shop, gets the cash & thats the bail money.
Please correct if that’s wrong.
