What happens to confiscated drugs and cash?
When they don't get lost or misplaced, they're used to carry out the mission of the police -- to preserve, protect, and profit.

In many states, the more illicit cash and property that gets confiscated by a particular law enforcement department, the higher a budget they are allowed to have for purchasing equipment. In some places, individual police officers are even allowed to purchase cars and houses that they previously confiscated from suspected drug offenders, a practice I disagree with because it has been known to lead some cops to make arrests and fabricate evidence simply to get a hold of somebody's property. Under current asset forfeiture laws, they can take your cash or property for the flimsiest of reasons, and force YOU to pay high court fees and prove that your property wasn't used in the commission of a crime before you can hope to get it back. As for confiscated drugs, they usually get incinerated, often are used in undercover operations, and sometimes, unfortunately, "embezzled".
Reply:The drugs are destroyed (incinerated) and the cash goes to various law enforcement organizations AND into the general fund of the federal government and some to each state involved in that particular crime.
Reply:The drugs are held as evidence until the individual case is settled. Then the drugs are incinerated. The cash is used by the police to fund undercover operations
