Iowa Supreme Court upholds forfeiture law with limits
The Iowa Supreme Court ruled the 1986 forfeiture law constitutional but narrowed its reach to property directly used in crimes. In a 6 to 3 decision, the justices said substantial connection is required between seized items and the crime, while warnings and standards for enforcement remain central issues.

The court ruled the appeal had no basis and noted collateral consequences of criminal convictions.
