Best part in America there doesn't even have to be a crime they just say forfeiture and keep the money. so remember if you win money in the casino bank it as fast as possible this is no joke.
the cops dont keep the money in civil forfeiture haha when is the last time you saw a cop rolling around in a 50,000 dollar car? not any of my 4 family members who are cops
Well in Trenton NJ they are rolling around in suv's and chargers so like 35 or 40k maybe. As for keeping the money yes they keep the money, cars, houses and any thing else they confiscate the best part with forfeiture is money doesn't have the same rites as a person so if they don't charge you with a crime you have to get your own lawyer you can't get a court appointed one. So lets say im going to go buy a car with say 5k cash cop pulls me over no crime is committed but with the forfeiture laws he can confiscate it and I can't get a court appointed attorney I have to get my own lawyer to try to get my money back that was stolen by the police. Its a hell of a money making businesses shame its not about protect and serve any more.
oh my bad, i thought you meant the cop personally gets to keep the money. im stupid. you are right about the rest of what you just said though. hate the civil forfeiture rule. makes no sense
I'd kill for that.
1k seems a bit much.
A dollar seems petty.
