I look forward to SCOTUS ruling this was a gratuity instead of a bribe.
Does she get to keep the money? I know it’s evidence, but they still gave it to her. She owns it, right? When the trial is done, why shouldn’t she get it?
- "the money" can be guilty on its own, somehow
  welcome to the U.S.
  
  How else are cops supposed to buy new sidearms every 3 years?
  
  It knows wat it did🫸 🫷
- People don't generally get to keep the benefits from a crime, and in this case the money is both evidence and also money she never would have been able to legally receive.
  Since it comes from the ceiminals it would be neat to let her keep it as a reward for reporting it, but she probably won't get to.
- If this ever happens to me, I'm going halvsies.
