"The practice allows law enforcement to confiscate property from people suspected of criminal activity, even if they haven’t been charged with an offense."
Suspected of criminal activity due to "money existing".
It should be a very simple procedure.
I have no issue with the seizure itself. What should come next is the police ask the person or business to explain it. They show an invoice / receipt, and the money is logged and returned promptly.
