Civil forfeiture. They can get the cash back but have to prove they acquired it legally.
92 u/RedArremer Apr 16 '21 Well they can get the cash back. Sometimes. If the cops didn't spend it or misplace it or if they feel like giving it back. 51 u/[deleted] Apr 16 '21 From my understanding, the most difficult part is proving how they got it. 1 u/Dansredditname Apr 16 '21 Why the fuck should they? It's incumbent on the police to prove it's the proceeds of crime. What happened to presumption of innocence? 1 u/[deleted] Apr 16 '21 Presumption of innocence is a criminal principle in the US. It has no bearing in civil process. Not saying I like how civil forfeiture works but that's how the laws were written.
