I suggest you immediately retain an attorney to represent you and your Mother's interest.

The Police are required to give you an inventory list of everything they obtained from you and in the vehicle whether used as evidence or not in the criminal action against you.

Generally speaking,you can file a Motion for the Return of the Vehilcle and Cash and you can stipulate (agree) that the money can be xeroxed and used as evidence without objection at trial.

Cordially,
