God damm, why wasn’t this rectified years ago. The bar for Civil forfeiture should be “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Herion dealers should not be able to keep their cash or cars purchased with drug money but having such a low bar on the books leads to cases like that of motel caswell in Tewksbury

The bar for civil asset forfeiture should be "not fucking ever."

No criminal conviction = cops can go pound sand. The burden to prove where the money came from should always be on the state. Taking people's shit because it's suspected to come from drugs when the person has not been found guilty of any related crimes to connect the dots isn't enough.
