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!

It is a ridiculous perversion of law. They can just take your property. The burden of proof is on you to prove the money was not only legitimately earned but also going to be spent legitimately. Come home with 3 hundred dollar bills. The cop gets to decide if you were getting them to put in your grandkid’s Christmas card or buy crack. Your actual experience may depend on whether your face is lighter or darker than a brown paper grocery bag.
