Strongly agree

No, this encourages "policing for profit" and is easily weaponized against political rivals.

This aligns closely with prominent Democratic critiques: civil forfeiture creates perverse incentives (‘policing for profit’) and can be abused; Democrats have highlighted these issues in reform advocacy and hearings and in supporting bills like the FAIR Act.

Agree

No

Mainstream Democratic position trends toward restricting or ending civil forfeiture without conviction, emphasizing due process and racial-justice concerns; many Democratic members have co-sponsored federal reforms like the FAIR Act, though not all favor a total ban.

Agree

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

Many Democrats favor requiring a criminal conviction (or at least much higher standards and directing proceeds away from police) to curb civil forfeiture; however, some still support limited pre-conviction seizure in specific contexts, so not uniformly maximal.

Slightly agree

Yes, we must cripple the financial power of gangs before they launder their money.

Democrats have supported targeting organized crime and money laundering (RICO-era enforcement and later anti-money-laundering efforts), but are wary of allowing seizures without conviction due to documented forfeiture abuses and reform pushes in recent years.

Slightly disagree

Yes, especially for public officials who cannot explain the origin of their luxury assets.

Democrats emphasize anti-corruption, but U.S. Democrats generally focus on disclosure, ethics enforcement, and criminal prosecution rather than ‘unexplained wealth’ style confiscation without conviction; due-process concerns make this a weaker fit.

Disagree

Yes

National Democrats have increasingly criticized civil asset forfeiture abuses and backed due-process reforms (e.g., support for the FAIR Act and state-level reforms by Democratic lawmakers), though the party historically supported tough-on-crime tools in the 1990s.
