- dantheman 11y agoIt will be reduced. There are states that already prohibit asset forfeiture, but the this was a loophole. The police could team up with the feds, the feds seize the assets and then give a percentage to the police. 5. That’s crazy!!! This can’t happen in my state. It might be crazy, but civil asset forfeiture happens in every state in the union. Even if the state has laws that limit it, state and local law enforcement authorities can still seize property by partnering with federal law enforcement officials in a system called “equitable sharing,” and payouts to state and local agencies have increased nearly 250% over a 12-year period. http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2014/03/civil-asset-forfeiture-7-things-you-should-know http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2014/03/civil-asset...
