Strongly agree

Yes, it is a vital tool to cripple cartels and terror networks before they can launder their money.

This matches the GOP’s frequent justification for forfeiture—disrupting drug cartels and terror financing—consistent with post-9/11 security politics and long-standing anti-narcotics enforcement priorities.

Agree

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

Republicans often support forfeiture but have shown openness to guardrails to prevent abuse; reform proposals in GOP-led states and by some congressional Republicans emphasize targeting serious crime while adding due-process protections.

Agree

Yes

National GOP platforms have long backed civil asset forfeiture as part of the War on Drugs/anti-crime toolkit (e.g., 1980s–1990s tough-on-crime era), though in recent years some Republicans/libertarians have pushed reforms, making blanket support less uniform.

Slightly agree

No, "policing for profit" is unconstitutional and violates the principle of innocent until proven guilty.

The ‘policing for profit’ critique is embraced by a notable Republican/libertarian faction (e.g., some support for the FAIR Act and state-level reforms), but it is not the dominant party line given the GOP’s historical support for forfeiture and law-enforcement discretion.

Neutral

No, and ban the "Equitable Sharing" loophole that lets local police bypass state laws to seize assets.

Banning equitable sharing is supported by some Republicans concerned about federal overreach and circumvention of state reforms, but many GOP-aligned law-enforcement advocates defend the program; the Trump DOJ’s 2017 restoration/expansion of equitable sharing cuts against strong party-wide agreement.

Disagree

No

A full prohibition conflicts with the party’s traditional law-and-order posture and past support for forfeiture statutes, but aligns with a growing reform wing (e.g., some GOP lawmakers backing due-process reforms; Trump DOJ’s 2017 move to expand forfeiture also shows the party is not broadly anti-forfeiture).
