Innocent owner defense:

It is an affirmative defense to a vehicle forfeiture that the registered owner of the vehicle did not know or have reason to know the vehicle would be used for an unlawful purpose.

Violations of your constitutional rights:

The Minnesota Supreme Court has recently ruled that the Minnesota exclusionary rule applies in civil forfeiture actions. What does that mean?
