Restrict fines and fees levied before adjudication. In many jurisdictions individuals are charged cost-prohibitive pre-trial fees, sending them into debt even if they are ultimately acquitted of a crime. In cases of pre-trial civil forfeiture, an individual often cannot recover property seized prior to conviction. IÂ’ll reverse the Trump administrationÂ’s policy expanding pre-trial civil forfeiture at the federal level, and restrict the use of civil forfeiture overall.
