A University of California Berkeley Police (UCPD) Officer was videotaped confiscating money from a hot dog vendor.

In the video, Officer Sean Aranas wrote a ticket to the vendor for selling on the street without a permit. He took the vendor’s wallet and confiscated $60, which was suspected to be the proceeds from illegal sales.
