Civil forfeiture is theft plain and simple.

I've never understood how civil asset forfeiture is constitutional. It seems like a 4th amendment violation.

Can someone point me to the judicial decisions that lead to this being legal?

It is a 4th amendment violation, but some shit judge ruled otherwise at some point so they get to pretend it isn't.
