But I didnt realize that they could do the same without a conviction. That is just wrong, and goes against everything the founding fathers fought for.

Yeah, in most states they can do it without a conviction, or even a charge.

Then it's 100% on you to show how you got the money legally to a judge in court and convince them to overturn it, and even then it's pretty much never coming back to you. Shit's going towards buying the police station an espresso machine, or covering their raises or something. It became a habit where when police pull someone over for minor violations, they would ask if you have any large sums of money on you.
