A quick definition of confiscation:

Confiscation is when the government takes someone's property because they think it was obtained illegally or used for illegal activities. It can also happen when someone in authority takes property without permission. Confiscatory means something that takes away property, and a confiscator is someone who takes property away.

Confitens reus is a Latin term that means "confessing accused." In history, it referred to someone who admitted to committing a crime they were accused of.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Confiscation refers to the act of seizing property by actual or supposed authority, either for the public treasury or for other reasons.

Examples:

  • During the war, the government confiscated the property of Japanese Americans and sent them to internment camps.
  • The police confiscated the drugs and weapons found in the suspect's car.

The first example illustrates how confiscation can be used for discriminatory purposes, while the second example shows how it can be used to enforce the law and prevent harm to society.

Related terms:

  • Confiscatory: This adjective describes something that involves or results in confiscation.
  • Confiscator: This noun refers to a person or entity that carries out confiscation.

Note: Confiscation can be a controversial practice, as it involves taking away someone's property without their consent. It is often used as a punishment for illegal activities or as a means of enforcing government policies.
