American shakedown: Police won't charge you, but they'll grab your money

A few years ago there was a stink over that in FL.

IIRC any amount over $3500 was automatically assumed to be drug money and was confiscated without respect to any other evidence.

IIRC several victims were never booked or even taken to the PD, jut given forms to fill out to request their money back and sent on their way.

The only way it made the news was a used car dealer making a bank deposit got jacked, and had money for a lawyer who knew how to use the media.
