I don't see why police can't simply use civil asset forfeiture seize an entire warehouse, just like they seize homes from owners who might not know that another resident was selling drugs out of it. Proving that the owner knew of the crime isn't necessary to seize an instrument of crime.

Because Amazon will fight back. I guarantee you that very few people with 50 billion dollars of cash in their bank account have their homes taken via civil asset forfeiture.

They can do a lot of things but they won't. They don't have anything to gain personally from attacking Amazon so why would they?

In my opinion, civil asset forfeiture sucks and should be illegal.
