Reform or repeal Civil Forfeiture laws to require Due Process as required by the U.S. Constitution

Created by J.D. on October 07, 2014

Reform Civil Forfeiture laws to meet the requirements of Due Process as set forth in the U.S. Constitution and to ban the confiscating agencies from benefiting from such seizures so as not to give the agency motive to seize personal property. Civil Forfeiture of assets should only be required when a defendant has been proven guilty in a court of law of obtaining said property or use of said property during the course of committing a crime. Furthermore, all such cases shall be filed against the owner of said property and NOT the property itself such as in the case of Unite States v $2500, thereby requiring the state to bear the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt before allowing the state to seize any personal property.
