This bill would increase the burden of proof to ensure seized property is tied to criminal activity, as well as close a loophole practice called “equitable sharing,” which allows states that have curtailed or banned civil asset forfeiture to skirt limitations by running their forfeitures through the federal program instead.

Washington ― Law enforcement groups are fighting to stop a bipartisan bill led by a Michigan congressman that would curb agents’ widely used and criticized practice of confiscating and keeping cash, homes or other property from people without ever charging them with a crime.

They claim the legislation would “defund” police and choke off the use of the practice known as civil asset forfeiture. Proponents, including civil liberties groups, say the bill ensures due process and protects innocent property owners.
