I was just wondering to myself "How the hell does the government win judgements against sums of money?"

  The money doesn't appear to defend itself, and thus, boom: Default judgement.

    Does money have Miranda rights? If money cannot afford an attorney can it get a public defender?

      I don't believe so. It's also guilty unless proven innocent.

  John Oliver had a great segment on Civil Forfeiture a couple years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kEpZWGgJks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kEpZWGgJks

  It's a total defecation on the 4th amendment is what it is. edit: What I mean is that the concept of civil asset forfeiture is a legal circumvention of the protections the 4th amendment is supposed to provide. The practice itself is probably illegal and should be challenged, and there should be a lot of uproar about the practice.
