>Why aren't Americans rioting in the streets about this?

It isn't something that your average middle class American has to worry about too often. Cops mostly target the poor and people of color so the issues around civil forfeiture are largely unknown outside those who have experienced abuse of civil forfeiture.

Just like how many white Americans think racism is a solved problem since they don't experience it personally.
