But they shouldn’t be able to. THAT’S the point. This is the big problem of modern asset seizure. The cops can just decide that’s “suspicious” take it, never charge you with anything, and never give it back. In a free society that respects the burden of proof this wouldn’t fly. But due to a government waging intellectual “wars” that it can never win, that it doesn’t actually want to win, we’ve bought into this terrible line of thinking that causes people to accept it. Heck you even cheer this wrong headed tyranny on. It should NOT happen that the government can just say “oh that’s a lot of cash, ours now”.
