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!

Basically, if the law thinks some part of your property(including money but also like a house or car or even ipad) was involved, will be involved, or was acquired by criminal activity then the law may take it.
This was designed to help break up suspected criminal enterprises because while they may not be able to officially charge you with a crime as not enough evidence, they can charge the property with a crime.
You can get it back but it is a long and arduous and expensive process.
This explains it better.
