Unless they're arresting you, they don't have the ability to keep the 
CF card. Your lawyer should be able to get it back for you. I would 
also protest the fine by going to court. You have the right to your 
day in court. Just like speeding tickets, you're innocent until 
proved guilty or until you pay the fine.
