Civil Asset Forfeiture (or civil judicial forfeiture): Law enforcement seizes money or property suspected of being connected to a crime without needing to charge or convict the owner of a crime. The legal action is filed in rem—meaning it targets the property or cash itself rather than a person. [1, 2, 3]
