Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Do you have an inventory sheet from the police giving that amount of money on it? In theory you can (try yourself first and/or) have an attorney file a motion to return property ... in my experience, with only $ 295, it may be best to let it go.

A personal decision, of course. Each person has to do what is right for them. At this moment, and if it were me, I would focus on and be grateful nothing has been filed. Also, nothing may have been filed *yet*. On misdemeanors, it is one year in which the D.A.'s office has to decide, and on many felonies it is 3 years. Good luck!
