Walk It Through: The Cash Taken at the Stop
Money seized for forfeiture, 45 days for a written assertion, and 30 days to file a sworn claim.
At a stop, officers find a large amount of cash in a bag and seize it, saying it is connected to drugs.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
Cash seized for forfeiture at a traffic stop. Real estate, a vehicle with a lender's lien, and the criminal case itself are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
