Of course the cops always will have a legal right to do whatever they need to do, heh. Seriously. If they think it's drug money, then the thing to do is say you smell or detect drugs on the money. Voila, you've done what you need to do legally to keep the money as evidence.
It's not really an argument though, you can look what the police told her from their own mouths, if the story is accurate of course. First they said she could claim it in 60 days if nobody contacts them about it missing, then they told her 90 days.. and THEN they told her it's drug money. Wouldn't you think if anyone should stick to one theory it should be the police dept?
One can only speculate what was going through her head. Was there a bank robbery? Is it counterfeit? If I spend this and it's stolen and marked, will I go to jail? Who can say? What we know is she said she thought it was the right thing, and the police said she could keep it if it wasn't claimed.
