The court said that because I carried $10,000 cash it was sufficient evidence to confiscate it for "drug trafficing" even though they have not and will not charge me with a crime. This is not right!@

Why I had cash is none of anyone's business. This is the United States--I don't have to tell anyone why, including the authorities. It was for legitimate purposes. MY MONEY=I can carry as much as I want in any form I want.

Amazing how stupid you all are--American sheep. WHERE did I ever say I was dealing drugs? I specifically said I was NOT dealing drugs, and they have no evidence that I was, and they've admitted this in court.
UNITED STATES LAW does not require they have evidence of a crime to seize assets in "drug crimes". LOOK IT UP--the courts have ruled that they can take money and that carrying large sums of cash is all the evidence necessary--even if they don't charge you with a crime, it's theirs to keep. LOOK IT UP. You people are going to wonder who's going to stick up for you but nobody will be left. I hope you get what you've given me.

WOW. I'm sorry the ignorant people on this "community" have libeled you and called you a drug dealer. That's terrible. Yes, the United States has made it de facto illegal to carry large sums of cash across state lines, and one doesn't need to be charged with a crime to have it confiscated. The courts have upheld this. It's a catastrophic violation of the 4th ammendment, and more people need to be made aware that this is happening. A simple google search will reveal numerous instances of this very same thing happening. It's unfortunate. Your hard earned money is yours to do with as you please--carry a million bucks in $1 bills if you like--it's none of the government's business.

Something does not wash here. You say the police took the money as evidence of a crime but then refused to charge you with the crime. If this really happened to you then find a newspaper and get them to write an article about the police stealing money under the guise of drug money.
However, you have not convinced many people that this actually happened. What are the details? How did the police find the money? Where did this happen? Did you speak to a lawyer? If I lost $10,000 due to police stealing, I would find a lawyer. Until you give more details, I will treat this as a bogus question.

I seriously doubt the truth in your statement/question. For the police to confiscate something, there must be evidence of a crime. If no charges are filed, then any evidence confiscated must be returned.
One cannot help but wonder why you were walking around with ten thousand in cash...I can only think of one answer, that answer being that you're a drug dealer. If this is not the case, then I suggest you contact a lawyer to get your property back.
If you are a drug dealer, then I suggest you shut up and go away.

in case you're looking by using the domicile windows to get evidence he's cheating you could properly be committing a criminal offense. pay attention. in case you're in California pot is easiest an infraction, like an internet site travelers fee ticket, so the police do not might desire to spend any time on such a minor offence. in case you're in an further state they often do not prefer to spend a lot time for the clarification that pot is presently not considered that undesirable, even with the certainty that that could be a detention center, there are extremely some better severe crimes that they choose to spend their time on. cheating on one's significant different is not a criminal offense in maximum states. yet whilst youin case you tell the significant different approximately it you will possibly desire to confirm your downside in the event that they get divorced they each and each will achieveable flow. surprising success

If you were dealing drugs, it seems you have little moral ground on which to stand when deciding what's right.
