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!

I saw a video of an immigrant taxi driver losing his stack of 60k dollars to cops in a “suspicion of drug money”, even though it was just his savings from his years worth of pay.
Then the video explained, there was no real suspicion, but the money goes to the municipality and the cop department actually gets a cut of it into its own budget. And that the cops were tipped off earlier by some other security guard who saw the cash pile somehow.
The victim can request the money back, but its a long legal process and they get like 20-30% back.
Its essentially a legal way to cops steal money into their budgets. Sometimes the bankers that oversee the withdrawal of the pile of cash tip the cops out for a kickback for himself.
The USA is a fascist dystopia.
