It's Time to End "Theft By Cop"
One of our nation’s fundamental principles is that people should not be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process.

This practice, called "civil asset forfeiture" can be reined in with SB 443. The bill requires a defendant to be convicted of a crime before cash or property can be permanently seized. More than 70% of Californians agree that this is the right course of action.
Please join the bipartisan consensus to reform civil asset forfeiture in California.
Let California lead the nation in addressing this serious threat to civil liberties.
