this severely skews the findings/results of the study. So say 80% of the 60% chose to challenge, that would throw off the finally tally by a wide margin. of those who did challenge, how many were successful?
How much would they have to take before you found a lawyer to chase getting it back? Hiring a lawyer over a couple hundred bucks?
Now what if you are already pay check to pay check?
Or in a small town feeling intimidated by police who just stole your stuff and won’t give it back even after you are cleared? Worried they might mess with you more if you take them on?

You think that's bad, look at Chicago.
They impound vehicles so that if the owner fights back, they can drag out the court case as long as possible and if the victim wins in court, they get hammered with impound fees.
Even better, Chicago will use the logic of the asset being guilty to forfeit cars because they were stolen (ie used in a crime).

I had a client who ran a junkyard. He was structuring deposits (keeping them under $10,000 which is not illegal) because he is an old man who thinks shite shouldn’t be reported to the government.
He did nothing wrong.
DHS came in with a warrant and seized close to $300,000. He had to prove his innocence, not the other way around, and sue to get most, not all, of his money back.
Civil asset forfeiture is horse shite.
