An officer might take money from a person as evidence, or to be held in safekeeping if the person was incarcerated or hospitalized. In either case, the person is supposed to receve a receipt for the money, and the officer should book the money into evidence as soon as practicable.

No, a police officer cannot simply take money away from a person without a valid legal reason or authority. If there is a suspicion of illegal activity or a lawful search or seizure is conducted, the officer may seize money as evidence or if it is believed to be associated with criminal activity. However, due process rights must be followed, and the money can only be confiscated after proper legal procedures are followed.

If your car was towed away by police but it is tax has been for an mot and failed but you were working on it and it had insurance were they wrong to take it?
No MOT, providing the vehicle is not dangerous to drive, is NOT a reason for the Police to have a car towed away. A car can be towed away, for no insurance, being driven by an uninsured person, or even reasonable suspicion of being driven with no insurance. No driving license or no tax are also a valid reason to have a car towed away. According to Surrey Police, if they tow your car away by mistake, providing the officer was not negligent, do not have to refund you the costs of recovering your vehicle.

If employed by hospital police and you take a exam to become a Port Authority police officer and fail the drug test can you be reportd and fired?
Let me just start by saying that you should not be a Police Officer. Getting back to your question. As a police officer you have a "Moral Clause" in which your current agency can use to hire you. Since you are already a police officer you should know that if you did drugs (depending on what you did) at one point you were in possession of such drugs. In CA that's a felony. Technically speaking you commited a felony and got away with it. Do the rest of us, hospital police a favor and quit your job.
