nope, because they could have been forfeited by a court anyways.

  Civil forfeiture requires a showing in front of a court.

    Not actually. It merely requires a cop. And the state has been known to kidnap your children if you try to dispute the issue.

      The issue though is that your money, car, etc, is gone instantly and you're on the side of the road hitch-hiking home. No hearing, no evidence even. The fact that a hearing is part of the process is largely irrelevant because other parts of the system to conspire to keep victims from reaching the hearing or getting justice.

    Yes, I used the wrong concept. My point is that a fair trial against a defendant would also forfeit the ill acquired assets.
