“Because their property was worth one million dollars and carried no mortgage, and because a handful of drug crimes had taken place on the property over 20 years (which represent less than .05 percent of the 125,000 rooms the Caswells rented over that period of time), the federal government is trying to take the Caswell’s property through civil forfeiture, sell the land and keep the money. Under a process known as ‘equitable sharing,’ the federal government would keep 20 percent of what they net and the local police department would pocket 80 percent.”
