Issue Position: Civil Asset Forfeiture

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012
Issues: Housing and Property Criminal Justice

We oppose civil asset forfeiture laws. We believe it is the responsibility of criminal courts, following due process, to decide if property is to be seized. Allowing seizure of property based on unconfirmed probable cause creates a dangerous temptation and a conflict of interest for law enforcement agencies.
