"If the government MUST steal someone's stuff, at least convict that person of an ACTUAL crime FIRST."

Civil asset forfeiture has been around since biblical times. This is nothing new.

Slavery has been around since biblical times and before. STILL doesn't make it right. But ANYTHING that increases government power is jake with you, especially if it furthers your precious war on some drugs. Let's face it, bobby, you are an authoritarian control freakazoid with a huge addiction to power over other folks' lives and property. An addiction, I might add, which WILL be curbed one sweet day.
