I don't see how that logic flies. My property may be guilty until innocent, but I am still being deprived of property without due process.

- drjesusphd 12y agoAs far as I can tell, "due process" only means "a judge approved it".
- AnthonyMouse 12y agoDue process isn't the problem. The seizure is sanctioned by a court and you can challenge it, so there's your due process. The reason it's a total scam is that they're claiming it's a civil proceeding rather than a criminal one. The government is making an accusation of criminal wrongdoing and is ostensibly acting on behalf of the people rather than any government agency but somehow it isn't a criminal case. So then the government claims it doesn't have to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, they can just steal your stuff and leave you with the burden of suing to get it back.
