What is Civil Asset Forfeiture?

Every year Americans give up billions of dollars in currency, vehicles, boats, real estate, and other assets. The Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000 known as CAFRA gave most federal law enforcement agencies like DEA, FBI and US Customs federal law enforcement agencies, under the color of law, to seize property they believe is connected to criminal activity.

How Bad Is It?

“As many as 80% of people who have their assets seized are never charged with a crime.”

 

In 2020 the totals climbed to $68.8 billion.
