Who Reposseses Homes From Drug Raids?
The repossession of homes as a result of drug raids is commonly referred to as asset forfeiture. Each state has laws governing asset forfeiture that are based on federal guidelines and statutes. Numerous court rulings have played a major role in establishing what is subject to seizure and the laws and rights that must be considered in regard to illegal drug activity. According to Cornell Law School, the practice of property seizure was introduced in the mid-1980s as a weapon in the government’s “war on drugs.” The Department of Justice established the National Assets Seizure and Forfeiture Fund in 1985.
