I suspect conservatives are more strongly on both sides of the civil forfeiture issue than the left is (a bit like how civil rights once divided the Democrat party, leaving Republicans as spectators).
Yes, the right is more hostile to arbitrary use of power by government, than the left. But the right is also more strongly in favour of cops and other law-and-order matters.
I'm also interested in the slight similarity between this and debates about the "rights" of companies. In both cases, officials find it easier to do what they want because they make their case against a persons property, which doesn't have the rights that the person has.
