Uh, arresting them is the FIRST step.

I answered your question, "Are you saying that those arrested for drugs are innocent?", with a yes. Yes, they are innocent, until proven guilty.

. If, however, they are found not-guilty, they are let go and also their money is let go. Simple. Follow the law. Keep your cash.

Wrong-o, Mary Lou.

From Heritage Foundation:

4. What if I’m innocent? Surely, innocent people can’t have their property taken.

Being innocent does not mean that a state has to return your property. The Supreme Court of the United States has held that the “innocent owner” defense is not constitutionally required.

Additionally, I can come up with hundreds, maybe even thousands of cases of civil forfeiture used abusively -- even a set of seizures where people's cars were taking because the CLUB OWNER of the club they visited violated the law -- but I see you will discount any or all of those as 'cherry picked', so there is no reasoning with you. You are an extreme statist Police State lover, and would have been George Soros's Kapo friend as you rounded up your fellow Jews.

Cops have to do their job — patronizing shady clubs dealing with drugs? If you are, good luck with whitewashing that stash of cash in your car. The justice system is based on due process. You do NOT have to worry about anything if you are innocent. Otherwise the constitutional system breaks down and the mob will rule.
