Due process!!! Civil forfeiture is wrong!! Change the law!

New Mexico did - As of July 1, forfeiture is prohibited until conviction of a crime. Proceeds go to the state's general fund, not local or state police departments or sheriff's office.

Good for New Mexico, but the feds can still sue “in Rem” (against the property), in New Mexico. The cases are tried in federal courts, not state courts.
