" The owner of any property seized by police or a governmental agency has to hire an attorney and contest the seizure in civil court to get the property back.

Even then, the burden is on the property owner to prove that their items had nothing to do with criminal activity."

    Yeah but I mean on the part of the lady. Is carrying large sums of money on a plane a crime now? It sounds like the pigs wanted the cash so they just took it.

      yeah i was being flippant, i think techincally civil forfeiture doesnt have to be connected to any sort of arrest or charge or anything. because this is a hellish country designed to make things bad.

      edit: i think technically above like 10k you have to declare the cash you're carrying if its an international flight for customs reasons so maybe this is connected to that

        Unless this was a new story and this happened again after happening just a few weeks ago, this wasn’t even an international flight. They had absolutely no justification for doing this, it was straight up theft by the pigs.

        Ah that would make sense. But it's still fucked up that the pigs can just scoop that cash up and go blow it gambling if they wanted to.
