Very strongly agree

No, the state must secure a criminal conviction before permanently seizing private property.

Requiring a criminal conviction ensures that property rights are protected under a uniform legal standard, preventing the state from exerting unfair power over citizens.

Very strongly agree

No, this incentivizes "policing for profit" and creates a loophole for corruption and theft.

Egalitarians strongly oppose systems that allow law enforcement to profit from seizures, as this creates corrupt incentives that target those with the least resources to defend themselves.

Disagree

Yes, but restrict it to large-scale operations so police cannot harass everyday citizens.

Restricting the practice does not resolve the fundamental injustice of seizing property without a criminal conviction, which undermines the principle of equal legal standing.

Strongly disagree

Yes, crippling the financial power of cartels and gangs is necessary to fight organized crime.

While targeting organized crime is a valid social goal, bypasssing legal protections creates a systemic hierarchy where the state can strip rights away from suspects without proof, which is inherently unequal.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Egalitarians view civil asset forfeiture without conviction as a violation of due process that disproportionately impacts marginalized groups and grants the state too much arbitrary power over individuals.
