The broader question isn’t whether a specific action is reasonable in context, but whether civil asset forfeiture is constitutional. So it’s a question of law for the courts to decide, not a question of fact for a jury to decide.

We'd love to see a constitutional ruling against civil asset forfeiture. It's the right thing.

In the absence of that, though, jury rulings against the specific seizure is the next best defense.
