I have read several articles over the years raising awareness of civil asset forfeiture. The police use this tactic under the guise that they suspect drug activity. Especially if they pull over a vehicle and they find large amounts of cash. In this scenario, they can seize the money and the vehicle even if there is no evidence of actual illegal narcotics being present in the vehicle. The driver could be simply transporting cash because they have a business that mainly deals cash transactions such as vendors. In many ways civil asset forfeiture flies in the face of what it means to live free in America.
