On the other other hand, in the U.S. if you are pulled over by the police with cash, they can choose to seize that cash just because carrying cash looks suspicious. They don't need to charge you with a crime. If the cash was in a bank, they'd need to go through a lot more process to seize it -- the cops typically can't just walk into the bank and demand it.

Yea, but that's a different problem.
