[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2695944, member: 7629"] aside from who's responsible for such horrible legislation ... how is it anywhere close to right that your property is treated as guilty until you prove it innocent? if you are say carrying $17k in cash like example posted earlier, to purchase equipment for your BBQ restaurant and it's seized. it may cost that much or more in legal fees to prove it innocent and reclaim your cash back. you don't even have to be charged to forfeit your cash. a small business losing that much cash on top of paying an attorney at say $250 hour could very well put it out of business. to me this is an outright dodge of our right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. all a cop has to do is suspect found cash came from drug dealings .. ANY reason will do, their drug dog could very well alert on traces on cash VS charging someone then proving them guilty would require a normal set of proof to pass mustard. [/QUOTE]
