We already have civil forfeiture in the US. The police can just claim the money is linked to criminal activity and seize it.

  That's unfortunately true, however those cases are frequently reversed and returned by judges (though the burden is entirely on the asset owners to bring the case). We definitely need legislation to invert the process though, law enforcement should be going to a judge before they can seize the assets.
