Except as otherwise required under California Penal Code Sections 1417.5 and 1422, the Los Angeles County sheriff’s department will deposit in the city treasury all money contained in any contraband seized as evidence for violations of this chapter after any person owning, possessing or having control of such contraband has pleaded guilty to or been convicted of violating Sections 3.24.040 to 3.24.060 of this chapter. The sheriff shall apply to the judge of any court with custody of such contraband for an order releasing any money contained therein. All money received by the sheriff from the court shall then be deposited in the city’s general fund.
