Asset forfeiture without a conviction is blatantly unconstitutional and should be abolished.

I completely and enthusiastically agree with all the points made in the article.

However, I might make an exception for the forfeiture of book sale profits and speaking fees paid to certain corrupt politicians.

I don’t even know if asset forfeiture should follow conviction unless the asset directly relates to the crime. Any asset forfeiture is the government’s wet dream.

Asset forfeiture is simply how communist and Nazi dictatorships steal your property. Nothing more and nothing less and nothing different. It’s a disgusting sickening and highly corrupting practice as the official thieves use government force against the unconvicted/ innocent citizen and then it’s often the very same agents who keep all or a major part of your goodies, money, whatever they took from you

The War on Drugs has done much more to reduce individual rights than to reduce drugs.

CAF must follow due process. Whether that is a conviction may or may not be true. But summary seizure to the benefit of the police organization making the grab is not that process.

Cops in NYC help fund their pension fund via asset forfeiture. Seems like a conflict of interest.
