Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: House Raid

Before the government can take anything (car, house, property), they must give you notice and you have to have an opportunity to contest any forfeiture.

If they believe the house itself was purchased with proceeds from illegal drug sales, they may start criminal forfeiture proceedings against you.

Not likely in a case where some drugs were found, but there are other legitimate sources of funds for the house, but it's a remote possibility.
