Elias Kohn Law is investigating numerous cases across Pennsylvania where law enforcement has seized cash during routine traffic stops without filing criminal charges. Officers often justify these forfeitures based on vague claims such as “nervousness,” “traveling from a drug area,” or the alleged odor of marijuana. In many instances, drivers are subjected to escalated stops and K‑9 searches with questionable probable cause. Some never receive clear notice about how to contest the seizure.
If your cash was taken during a traffic stop under circumstances like these, you may have a strong Fourth Amendment claim.
