What is the effect of the seizure of cash from a cash machine by the police?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Major v. British Columbia (Attorney General), 1982 CanLII 757 (BC SC):
The petitioner does not dispute the legality of the seizure or the right of the police to retain the cash so long as it might be necessary as evidence. His position is that the right to detain the money ended when the charges were finally disposed of. He relies particularly on Elias v. Passmore, [1934] 2 K.B. 164.
