There is no way that civil forfeiture is constitutional. It is seizure without due process. If confiscating money without hearing or trial or anything is ok, when the Constitution specifically states that "[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated," then anything goes. Allowing civil forfeiture is judicial activism in its purest form.
