This is just absolutely bonkers.
"Innocent until proven guilty" was supposed to be a core tenet of our justice system.
The court needs to prove that the money was acquired illegally, not assume it was, and then expect us to prove its innocence. They need to have evidence and a warrant before seizing.
The "Second Amendment" types often claim that the Second Amendment protects the First Amendment. Well shouldn't it also enforce the Fourth Amendment?
- zhengyi13 6y agoPublic discussion (in favor) of applying 2A rights against 4A violations is utterly outside the Overton Window. As a practical matter, if one were to respond to a 4A violation with a 2A application, the 4A violators respond immediately with overwhelming force, after which you don't get to tell your story, and the violators get to write the report. Victors, history, etc.
