Very strongly agree

No

LP strongly favors ending permanent seizure without a criminal conviction, consistent with its due-process and property-rights focus and repeated platform planks opposing civil forfeiture.

Very strongly agree

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

LP has criticized federal ‘equitable sharing’ for incentivizing seizures and letting agencies evade state restrictions; banning/ending equitable sharing aligns with LP anti-forfeiture and federalism positions.

Very strongly agree

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

This matches LP rhetoric: civil forfeiture is often labeled “policing for profit,” criticized as unconstitutional, and contrary to innocent-until-proven-guilty; LP has advocated abolishing/restricting it to post-conviction forfeiture.

Disagree

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

LP would view limiting forfeiture to ‘large-scale’ targets as insufficient because the core objection is seizure without conviction and perverse incentives; reforms that keep non-conviction forfeiture are typically opposed.

Strongly disagree

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

Even when aimed at cartels/terror networks, LP generally rejects forfeiture without conviction as incompatible with the presumption of innocence and the 4th/5th Amendment; it prefers prosecution/conviction-based forfeiture.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Libertarian Party has long opposed civil asset forfeiture without conviction as a violation of property rights and due process (e.g., LP platforms and statements criticizing forfeiture as government overreach).
