So basically the system is built so that officers can steal from suspects if the money they have is acquired through illegal means. Is there a racial subtext here? Obviously this could not continue unless a significant portion of the police community was fine with it. What's the common police officers pay in Baltimore? How long are they trained? Are they trained professionals (lots of training) or just thugs with guns (very little training)? I have no experience in this field but I would guess they have a low pay (financial incentive) and very little training (leading to lack of professionalism). Is it so?
