I don’t have a problem with “civil forfeiture” if what is being forfeited is the ill-gotten gains of crime, stolen contraband, or profits from an illegal operation.
That said, there should be strict requirements of proof to get that done.

Not only proof, but actual charges filed and a conviction. Now the standard is so low that mere suspicion of illegal activity is enough to allow LEOs to seize personal property.

Yes, like a conviction first.
