Asset seizure is also known as asset forfeiture or asset confiscation, depending on the state in which the law is being applied.  Asset seizure is the confiscation by law enforcement authorities and/or by the State, of possessions of the alleged criminal that are believed to be instruments used in a crime (get away cars, gun involved in a murder).  Possessions can also be seized if they are believed to be the proceeds of a crime (such as money obtained from a robbery).  And lastly, possessions can be seized if they are alleged to be an item that is intended for criminal use (intended to use to commit a crime such as dealing drugs, or commit terrorism).  In all cases of asset seizure, the State must prove that the items being seized had a connection with the crime in question.  Most criminal seizure occurs after a conviction, or after an individual is accused of a crime.  For example seizure of belongings in order to prove a case against an individual, versus seizure of jewelry that was obtained as a result of a jewelry store robbery.  Civil seizures can also occur.  Civil asset seizures occur when there is probable cause that the item applicable for seizure.
