For example,if large quantities of drugs are being sold out of a particular home and the owner(s) of that home knew about it and did nothing to stop it I can see making loss of that home as being part of a guilty plea or verdict.

It's one thing for the criminal evidence being seized but when it also includes personal properties such as cars and homes, then that has to stop.
