You don't even have to be convicted of a drug offense; if you're just suspected of a drug offense, law enforcement has the right to keep the cash they find on you or in your home, or seize your car if drugs are allegedly found in it or "suspected" of being transported in the vehicle.” IfsMatterStatesUseHomeLawFoundCarDrugPercentLocalsAgencyCashVehicleOffenseLaw EnforcementEnforcementOffenders Author:Michelle Alexander
