Goes into the budget is my understanding. It becomes departmental funds.

Very very poorly for the individual because your intent cannot be factored into the case. The money itself has to be proven innocent from criminal activity. It's essentially designed to be as hard as possible for the individual to get their money back. I am not a lawyer and I am pulling this from memory so i could be wildly off base with this.

The police department gets it. If you want your money back it's the seized money vs the state in a court, not you personally vs the state, the money itself vs the state.

Yes. Mostly because it would "validate" extremely thinly veiled sexism.
