THIS IS TRUE. Civil Asset Forfeiture without CONVICTION of a crime should be unlawful - but it isnt. At the very least, the conflict should be eliminated. Proceeds should go to schools or hospitals - not back to the LEA that is doing the seizure. When I worked in the prosecutors office we LITERALLY had to budget the amount our office would receive from civil asset forfeiture. Now how do you do that?
