Civil forfeiture isn't even in the top 100 worst laws in widespread use. The laws that put millions of Americans in prison for insanely long prison terms, giving it the highest current incarceration rate of any modern country (slightly beating out the previous record holder, Stalin-era USSR) are much bigger problems than property seizure. I'd much rather have my car seized for stupid reasons, than be thrown in jail for stupid reasons.
