Civil Asset Seizure Recovery Experts
These civil asset forfeiture laws provide law enforcement agencies with the power to attempt to seize property and money which they say is connected to illegal activity. Generally, property or cash is normally seized for forfeiture pursuant to title 21, United States code section 881, because the property was allegedly used or acquired as a result of a violation of the controlled substances act, title 21, United States code, sections 801 et. seq. or other alleged criminal violations such as currency transaction violations (CTR).
Civil Asset Seizures become a law enforcement cash cow.
Over the last 40 years, the system has grown exponentially and now constitutes a significant source of funding for law enforcement operations. While the law is supposed to provide safeguards to protect people from becoming victims of improper civil asset forfeiture, you may be at risk of losing your property to overzealous police forces motivated more by the prospect of forfeiture proceeds and a desire to enforce laws and protect society.
