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!

reddit blows this out of proportion. it’s not like police are busting people left and right and stealing their money.
yes there are edge cases of innocent people and corrupt police- but this exists everywhere.
in general if you have a legal means and can prove it they aren’t going to take your money.
i.e. if a starbucks employee is going to the bank to drop off the days earnings. runs a red light and gets pulled over. the police isn’t gonna just take that money lol.
but if you are going into a drug house that’s being monitored and get pulled over shortly after with $30k of cash in a bag- that money is likely going to be taken.
