Very strongly agree

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

Requiring a criminal conviction before permanent forfeiture matches the core Democratic reform message on due process and property rights; many Democratic proposals and state reforms move toward conviction requirements or near-equivalents.

Very strongly agree

No, this incentivizes "policing for profit" and creates a loophole for corruption and theft.

Democrats frequently argue civil forfeiture creates perverse incentives and "policing for profit"; this critique is central to Democratic-backed reform campaigns and legislation aimed at reducing revenue-driven seizures.

Strongly agree

No

Democratic lawmakers and aligned civil-liberties groups have pushed to curb/abolish civil forfeiture without conviction; many Democrats endorse requiring stronger due-process protections, reflected in repeated congressional reform efforts like the FAIR Act.

Agree

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

A common Democratic position is reform rather than blanket approval—allowing forfeiture in serious cases while tightening rules to prevent abuse; this aligns with incremental reforms Democrats have supported at federal and state levels.

Slightly disagree

Yes, crippling the financial power of cartels and gangs is necessary to fight organized crime.

Democrats often support targeting organized crime finances, but the party’s recent emphasis is on due process and limiting forfeiture abuses; a broad pro-forfeiture justification without conviction conflicts with current reform posture.

Disagree

Yes

National Democrats have increasingly criticized civil asset forfeiture and backed reforms (e.g., support for the FAIR Act and state-level Democratic reforms), though some Democrats historically supported tough-on-crime tools, making outright "Yes" unlikely today.
