Yeah i know wat u mean about being frightened but thats theyr tactics.youv juzt got to be firm but respectful(although in your head your like "lick my balls you fuckin cock space")but be respectful and firm with em.DONT TAKE THEYR SHIT!the reason they do it all the time is because people do nothing about it.(im not having a go grogod.im with u 100%)you have a genuine legal...complaint,for want of a better word.you wernt charged so you wernt sentenced to anything,therfore they have NO LEGAL RIGHT WHATSOVER to take your money,phone ect without giving it back.i think if you went through the proper channels and you could prove that the $$$was legally yours and you could prove you came by it in a legal fashion,that they wpuld have no choice but to give you it back..though perhaps not with an apology.if it happened recently you should look into it buddy.good luck.
