They’re referencing civil asset forfeiture, a process by which (essentially) the state can take your stuff if they believe said stuff was involved in a crime and you have to demonstrate that it wasn’t involved in a crime nor was it intended to be involved in a crime (emphasis here; because the item is being charged, not a person, it is guilty until proven innocent). Depending on whether a judge determine the suspicion was reasonable or not, you may have to pay legal fees to get your stuff back.
IE; if a cop pulls you over, searches your car, finds 200$, and thinks you got it by selling drugs he’s allowed to take it and you have a couple months to prove that you didn’t get it by selling drugs otherwise the department gets to keep it. And if the judge agrees that taking the money in the first place was reasonable then to get it back you may have to pay the court.
