Not just a massive target to criminals either. Cops are willing to pull over armored cars and take the cash when it gets transported. That money then goes through the civil asset forfeiture process, getting handed to the feds who then give some of it back to the local department through their “equitable sharing” program. Legalized theft.

That sounds really bad but has it actually happened to a legal pot retailer?
Yes, over 1 million dollars in total with just this one transport company for example: https://ij.org/case/empyreal-forfeiture/
Thanks That was totally fucked up. However they got good lawyers and reversed the forfeiture.
