Whenever I see a story pop up like this, and given the amount of advocacy I see on other topics discussed here on HN, I think it's fair to point out some charitable organizations that have been fighting this fight where it matters: in the courts. The Institute for Justice has long long fought against unjust takings such as described here: https://ij.org/issues/private-property/civil-forfeiture/ https://ij.org/issues/private-property/civil-forfeiture/ The Pacific Legal Foundation is also involved in this fight: https://pacificlegal.org/civil-asset-forfeiture-resist-reform-repeal/ https://pacificlegal.org/civil-asset-forfeiture-resist-refor... Of the charitable giving that I do, these organizations are at the top of my list. If you're in the U.S., I would urge you to consider contributing as well.
