If I'm the only one that finds the money? $125k

Yes. Of course this is all hypothetical. You are a parish deputy, the interstate runs through your parish. The runner is an idiot an is going dangerously fast so you pull him over. Just to avoid in questions like "so I would have to do an illegal search?"..

Lets just assume he has a huge bag of cash in the front seat and all the product in the back seat and its easily visible. You handcuff him and put him in the back of the car then call it in. You could easily grab a few stacks out the bag and put it away before anyone shows up.

Lets say you don't take any of the money, but the next officer on the scene does. What do you do? After all. That money will be put in the evidence that will just sit there for who knows how long.
