Civil forfeiture is the latest scheme of budget-stressed US police departments, where they unlawfully steal a citizen's assets – cash, car and even house – without any formal charges or trial. Some of these are highway "shakedowns". Citizens are assumed guilty and must fight to retrieve their property. Worse still, the Supreme Court has allowed civil forfeitures in criminal cases — even when the police haven't obtained a conviction. It is outright theft, no matter if it is done by someone with a uniform and shiny badge. Wake up to this new scheme and learn what you can do about it.
