I don't support these policies, but they are already well in place in the USA. They don't need Canada to perform a trial run.
The US has has a long history with warrantless asset seizure, the most recent being the laws passed in the 1980s and still used today with the stated intention of curbing the illicit drug trade. In short, officers can size cash, valuables, vehicles, and property they believe might be used in a crime. Simply traveling with a few hundred dollars or more can be considered suspicious. Hundreds of millions of dollars are sized every year by police this way.
The US government can also freeze bank accounts of people they believe to be involved in crimes.
In all these cases, victims can go to court to reclaim what was taken from them and to get their accounts unfrozen. The same is true with what happened in Canada. There is very little difference with what is already the reality in the US.
