i think they have to show the money for documentation, because they may have to give it back, if it’s not profits from crimes. they will probably fight tooth and nail to keep it tho, because after a while the department may get to use it to buy new toys.
the guns may be illegal guns, depending on region. like if serial numbers got removed or the state allows only half automatics, but they are full, etc…
So, sadly, unless you’re proven innocent in court and your possessions are also proven innocent in court at a different trial that happens without you ever knowing about it, it’s gone.
Any valuables, including money, jewelry, watches, your car, even your shoes, on you while you commit a crime are also guilty of that crime, and will be used for any police propose. The justification can be laughably thin, it just has to be there. “We auctioned his watch and his Nikes because he needed the watch to know what time to go to his drug deal, and he needed his shoes to get there.”
Mind you, they can “prove” you are a drug dealer if you just have more drugs on you than a reasonable person would use in a single sitting.
So a guy goes to buy a week’s worth of weed for himself, gets pulled over on the way home, he’s a drug dealer now.
