would the cops have the right to hold it until you could prove when and where you bought it all from and where you got the money without accusing you of or at least saying there was something particular you were under the suspicion of? it could be possible that there was a particular suspicion and it wasn't reported....
i don't necissarily disagree with the cops' decision here - just curious about where the line is that they can say "hey, that's too expensive for you to own legally" or "hey, that's too much money, it must be stolen"

Well you obviously haven't been in some of the modern trailer parks. What seems unreasonable to you would seem normal to some retirees. Don't take the Trailer Park Boys as representing all trailer park inhabitants.
Me, I don't live in a trailer park but I take, you or some cop deciding what's reasonable, as an invasion of my privacy. If I want to carry large amounts of cash or not is nobodies business.
