Quoted from rosh:Cop: "I don't believe you, large sum of cash, gun, you clearly are involved in a drug deal, and we are confiscating the funds and gun" and under civil forfeiture laws all they need to do is suspect you of a crime, they don't even need to arrest you, then you need a legal fight to prove you are innocent, to get your money and gun back.
I live in fear of running into a rural Cop that knows what a Cali Girl or a Thermometer Case holds.
