Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Re: how do i about this

Itis likely that the police took your rent money as proceeds of a crime. They were wrong to take it given the charge. They may seek forfeiture of the funds.

If you are saying that the money was stolen from you by a police officer then that is a different question which would require you to make a civilian complaint.

Finally if the city refused to pay you when they fired or suspended you, then that is a labor issue and needs to be addressed in a proper venue.

Whatever the issue, you should not act on your own as anything you say could affect not only your criminal case but your employment future.

Get to a good criminal lawyer and let him or her handle the complete package of issues for you.
