You have to make it so that the money doesn't go back into the political unit's general funds nor a fund where the enforcing agency gets access to it directly or indirectly. Perhaps the money goes to a pool of charities, or is earmarked to remedy the victims of crimes, or is simply returned to the Federal Reserve (though that might just circulate back to the banks). The idea is to remove the monetary incentives from enforcement actions.

That's exactly how enforcement of federal crimes works. The money goes to the Crime Victims Fund [0], which is then disbursed to services that support the victims of crime. It's a remarkably well-run federal program. [0]: http://ojp.gov/ovc/about/victimsfund.html http://ojp.gov/ovc/about/victimsfund.html
