It's a common mistake to believe that due process has to be fair and just. In a civil asset forfeiture case, the owner of the property has the right to take part in the proceedings and contest the seizure. The owner is informed of this. And the owner can appeal the outcome of the proceedings. All this together constitutes due process, even if challenging the seizure costs more than the property in question is worth.
