Civil forfeiture remains a controversial issue in America since it’s “a process by which the government can take and sell your property without ever convicting, or even charging, you with a crime.” The procedures are civil, which means defendants do not receive the same protections given to criminal defendants.
Connecticut has put an end to this procedure when the legislature passed a law that bans civil forfeiture without a criminal conviction.
