What is a Forfeiture?

A forfeiture is a civil action where authorities can take your money or property if they can show it was used as part of criminal activity or was a proceed of criminal activity. There does not have to be an arrest and the burden for showing the property should be seized is different than proving guilt in a criminal case. This means it is easier to take your money than it is to prove a criminal case against you.

On top of that, a significant portion, if not the entirety, of what is seized is given to the authorities that seized the money. This means that police are incentivized into seizing as much money as possible. This often results in improper traffic stops that are essentially nothing more than shakedowns. Don’t be a victim!
