Allows police to seize and KEEP money for the police department.

I love those youtube videos on airport security and border security.There are some countries that do this at airports...IIRC Britain is one of them and Canada is another.They have dogs trained to sniff currency...and when there's a hit that person is at risk of losing his/her cash.

That was how the NYPD would help fund their pensions, dunno if they still do it that way.

I got myself involved during a domestic flight. I thought our jetliner was going to be hijacked, so passed a note to the pilot. When we landed, the perp was detained in front of me. I later heard from flight attendents that drugs were exchanged for cash, and the perp had taped $40,000 to his body. This was in the late 1980s.

The cash was confiscated as a civil forfeiture, and the case went to trial a year later. The line of questioning to me (by Public Defenders) developed that I was not an expert in hijacking, so the cash should be returned to the perp, who spoke only Spanish.

The cash was ultimately returned to the perp, and presumably, his Cartel.

Recall what Christ said to the soldiers who asked Him how they should live?

“And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.”

This hellish doctrine of civil asset forfeiture lets the police do exactly these things at the expense of thpse they claim to be protecting.
