Rob,
    The Federal Government as well as most states have a forfeiture 
provision where the police agency that makes the confiscation may keep 
the proceeds (money, vehicles, boats, planes, property, even antiques) 
if they can prove the funds/items were received or used for illegal 
purposes.  I'm only aware of a forfeiture in our part of the state via a 
plea agreement where an individual admits that the money he was carrying 
was from drug traffic, the vehicle he was driving was used or purchased 
with drug money or the items (antiques, etc) were used as part of a 
money laundering scheme.  Forfeiture (at least here) is difficult to 
obtain as well it should be.

Hi Curt,
In these parts, the department gets to keep a large portion
of whatever they seize.  No B.S.  It's true.  Houses, cars,
boats, planes, cash...
