In other words, a judge could issue the order without ever hearing from the person in question.....

So much for due process, sworn testimony, right to face accuser, etc. I could understand the need for this under some conditions, but it would seem to me the potential for abuse here is significant - especially with an estranged spouse/girlfriend or just someone that hates you.

The judge issues an order without hearing from the accuser or the accused. He issues an order to confiscate property on hearsay evidence from the police.

This does not sound like the justice system envisioned by the Founders at all.
