Your proposals are untenable. If my $20,000, which I got from friends and family to buy a backhoe loader for my contracting work, is confiscated for up to 6 months, then that's a huge pain in my life and career. If my car is confiscated then that's a huge impact on my ability to get to work. If you then "backlog previous periods of unvoted instances into later months with lower number of instances" it becomes worse. Prohibit civil forfeiture. It's much easier. If you want citizen oversight, get a citizen review board, and require that the putative owner is allowed to have a public defender. And make sure the public defender's office is sufficiently funded.
