Reply #29: Your first link doesn't mention asset forfeiture

[FBaggins]

The second lists a drug-related seizure that was returned when it was demonstrated that the police screwed up. The third appears to as well.

Both the 2nd and 3rd, while constitutionally questionable, were the result of specific laws that say that assets involved in the drug trade can be seized. Documenting alleged abuse of those laws in no way demonstrates that the government has the ability to seize other assets that are not involved in a crime, let alone a crime covered by the statute.

<i>Are three links to blatant abuse of the law enough? I could go on for a few pages.</i><P>

If you could find ONE that didn't involve any alleged illegal behavior and wasn't overturned/returned, that would be a start. You know... <b>something</b> that makes it in any way similar to seizing the assets of a foreign company without any due process at all?
