ANSTEAD, Judge,

dissenting.

I believe this case involves an improper seizure and a failure to prove that the money seized was produced by illegal activities and, hence, subject to forfeiture. See the excellent opinion of Judge Daniel in Medious v. Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, 534 So.2d 729 (Fla. 5th DCA 1988).
