I wonder if this could be an opportunity for a non-profit. It seems like it would be reasonably simple to collect the number of forfeitures initiated by prosecutors and the amounts of money they 'collect'. FEAR.org (Forfeiture Endangers American Rights) might be a good place to start. What about a Kickstarter to fund it? Imagine getting an auto-tweet every time a prosecutor made a forfeiture. What I loathe about forfeiture is that the Govt. does not need to get a conviction. They'charge' the property directly and if you can't afford to fight it they win.
