@mekkaokereke @PJ_Evans From Wikipedia: “Civil forfeiture in the United States has a history dating back several hundred years, with roots in British maritime law. In the mid-1600s, when what would become the United States was a British colony, the British Navigation Acts were enacted. These laws required ships importing or exporting goods from British ports to fly the British flag; ships that failed to do this could be seized regardless of whether the ship's owner was guilty of any wrongdoing.”

I first heard about it in the 1980’s, when Regan greatly expanded it’s use as part of the “war on drugs”, but that doesn’t really matter because a 5 second internet search would show you that it goes back HUNDREDS OF YEARS.
