amendment:

1. The practice of civil asset forfeiture shall only be permitted in conjunction with a successful criminal conviction of the subject(s) for a relevant crime, and its extent shall be regulated by the presiding judge, limited to those items which were acquired through criminal activity or where there is reason to believe the property will be used for criminal use.
2. If such a conviction is successfully appealed, the subject(s) shall be entitled to fair recompense.
3. The preceding protections shall not apply to the areas of maritime or customs law.

'Civil' is striken since the definition of allowed forfeiture limited to only criminal convictions precludes any civil forfeiture.  The rest is to clarify the scope of any potential forfeiture.
