        <description>The government can take anything from you for no reason - your cash, cars, even your entire home. It's called civil asset forfeiture.

It is a civil action against an object, not a person, so no evidence of crime needs to be provided. Whatever the government takes is immediately put to use, auctioned for sale or kept for their own use if they like your stuff.
