I don’t see how Asset Forfeiture is Constitutional in the first place.
Ok, but what about the assets?
This is good news. The bad news is that what the criminal police organizations will to, is simply switch from stealing property based on state law, and will start calling in thugs from DEA or some other Feral bunch of thugs so they can use Feral rules instead.
This is what has happened in other places that have done this.
While I applaud anything that lets folks not have to pay lawyers, we really need to deal with the underlaying problem: and get rid of civil forfeiture all together.
Moreover, please permit me a tiny rant, we also need to get rid of permitting civil proceedings for harm done relating to the commission of some crime WHEN there has been no criminal conviction for same. No finding of criminal guilt: no civil liability.
How about getting their seized money and goods back too?
