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.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
give it back. Holy shit that’s a good one.
yeah, unfortunately it’s cosmically rare. but it shouldn’t be.
