NC and several other states have similar laws, all that is required to get the money back is to show where it came from. A lot of the money siezed for possible relations to drug money is never claimed again by the person it was removed from, nor do they come back and try and claim it. Usually if our department finds a large stash of money, especially as this video showed, wrapped in a lot of plastic, our Drug dog is called in for the search many many times the dog hits on the money and finds drugs. I-40, I-95 and US-1 are major drug running routes, the mules will transfer money from NYC to Florida and return with the drugs. Not saying I agree with it, just giving a more open view than the lovely news media does. And even in the video, the guy came a claimed his 18 wheeler, couldn't say how he got the money though.
