What is the effect of the exclusionary rule on the seizure of cash from a bank account?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. $37,780 In U.S. Currency, 920 F.2d 159 (2nd Cir. 1990):

The district court, troubled by what it saw as the government's "cavalier disregard for the fourth amendment", and seeking a sharper deterrent than the one offered by the exclusionary rule, enjoined the government from further attempts to forfeit the money. Neither statute nor case law, however, supports that drastic remedy. Rather, in United States v. Premises and Real Property at 4492 S. Livonia Rd., 889 F.2d 1258 (2d Cir.1989), decided after the district court's order in this case, we stated that an unlawful seizure "would only preclude the government from introducing any evidence gained by its improper seizure" and would not result in a dismissal with prejudice. Id. at 1266.
