He’s selling illegally. How do the cops deal with someone selling drugs?
Do they take the cash the person has or not?
You raise an interesting question. The salient point being “proper license”. If the vendor can show that he did indeed have the proper license, then the officer has some splainin to do.
However, not carrying a valid license is not a crime but is a violation of an ordnance, which does not result in confiscation.
They may take it, but do so in a verifiable chain of custody way.
This one looked like straight up theft.
