There's a rather famous court case about civil asset forfeiture involving somebody who had just closed on their house for cash. Cops stopped the car, decided the money was dirty, stole it. Carrying a ton of cash is unusual, but does really happen. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Maybe it was happening in the past, but nowadays you can’t really sell a house for paper cash. Title & Escrow companies will require settled money on a verified checking account from a buyer and they will not deliver you duffel bag of cash - they will deposit into an account of your choice. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Yes: this definitely happens. I'm not making a broader argument about the legitimacy of civil asset forfeiture. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
