There are police and there are police. and there is a law (RICO Racketeering Influenced Criminal Organization) or set of laws which says if you have "Ill Gotten Gains" (Money obtained from Criminal activities) it belongs to the Police.
Do not steal: The government hates the competition (Bumper sticker on the car of a Police Lab Technician I happen to know).
I have had cases of a kid carrying way more money than he logically should have had when stopped by Michigan State Police and they ask me to verify it was legit. Well he'd been saving his nickles for a long time so as to buy a used car and that was the cash payment. 100% legit.. He went on his way fully funded.
I've had cases were the troopers knew it was drug money.. They went on their way back to their bosses and I'm sure to the ocean (Way out and no boat) cash free. as thousands of dollars went to forfiture.
One District Attorney conducted a class in how to take personal property under forfeiture EVEN IF THERE IS NO SUSPICION OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY .
(Lost reelection)
Some cities in at least one state (I will not say which here as it could spark political discussions) basicaly run on forfiture money. EVEN if it's not criminal.
So yes. Police can be that crooked.
