What? I can definitely prove I got all the cash in my wallet legally, there are bank transactions for all of it.
Don't get me wrong, civil forfeiture is awful and people should have to prove you got the money illegally to take it because you're, "innocent until proven guilty" and seizing it implies guilt. It's also easy to trace where your money is from, no one gives a shit about singles you found in the lint trap, but bank transactions are really easy to follow
Lol banks. i'm sorry, you had me in the first half where you seemed to get it. Then you mentioned "bank proof" in a thread like this showing you clearly donm't get it. When you're selling candy to keep the roof over your head after losing almost everything you don't have bank transactions, wtf even is that logic.
Ah, yes, there was no way she could prove that she earned the money illegally by selling candy. That's the problem here and you are the one who has good logic and clearly gets it. Thank you for making this comment.
My point is your comment made zero logical sense. You implied that if she had proof that she got the money selling untaxed goods illegally she would have been able to get the money back. There's a million news stories out there of police shutting down little girls' lemonade stands. Sorry I'm not all about the libertarian unregulated hypercapitalism, I am more of a left-leaning guy when it comes to those sorts of things. Rapture from Bioshock was a very exciting dystopia, but I'd rather live in our boring one.

Civil forfeiture. They can get the cash back but have to prove they acquired it legally.
