So...If for some reason law enforcement decides to check out the interior of my RV and find the cash I keep handy, maybe $500, for emergency or whatever use, they can confiscate it??
In a word, Yes. Now you can go to court, and if you can prove that you did not get that cash illegally, you can get it back.
People are, in theory innocent until proven guilty. OTOH, cash is assumed guilty in many areas.
Some localities, in hopes of preventing abuse, pass laws requiring the money,(and what they get from sale of property) must go into general fund, not to department budget. (Don't think the LEOs are ever allowed to keep) The DEA came back with the idea, make it a federal case, and we will kick back most of the CAF to department. But in those cases there might not be a conviction but at least charges are filed.
