Seems a simple way would be that people who have assets seized should get the greater of a) $20k OR b) 3x the value of items seized AND c) attorneys fees

At least this allows 1) people to litigate smaller seizures 2) creates disincentives for the more abusive cases

I appreciate that you're offering a solution. I think the proposal would put the burden on tax-payers.

As it should be if the public wants the assets sized.

Someone should have to pay for the collateral policy damage. It seems that the burden should to those who voted for the policy opposed the innocent victims.
