n most states, civil forfeiture laws allow police to take and keep your property without a criminal conviction. Only a few states limit most or all civil forfeiture cases.Police can then absorb the value of this property — be it cash, cars, guns, or something else — as profit, either through state programs or under a federal program known as Equitable Sharing, which lets local and state police get up to 80 percent of the value of what they seize as money for their departments.
