From the examples I have read on Civil forfeiture in recent years it seems like a complete joke. It seemed to be used a lot to basically outright steal money from people for the city/state or whatever government entity. Regardless of how it started some of the cases seem that it would be shameful even in some of the most corruption ridden country. At least in those places everyone might call this the norm but they would at least call it theft.
