No but I would guess they don't take the property of people who have not been convicted of a crime.

“convicted of a crime.”????

When you plead guilty, you are convicted! DUH!

“they don’t take the property of people who have not been convicted of a crime”

Tell that to all the people who have their cars confiscated for soliciting a prostitute or trying to buy drugs. Under forfeiture laws, you don’t HAVE to be convicted. You must fight in court to get your property back after posting 10% of the value of the property that was forfeited. Convicted or not.
