I don't believe that the government has the power to take possession and/or dispose of the assets until a guilty verdict has been reached.
Bear in mind that we imprison people "before they're found guilty by a court of law",

You are delusional. The courts have ruled that "innocent until proven guilty" applies only to people; if the State thinks your property is guilty, then it's guilty until *you* prove it innocent.

"then it's guilty until *you* prove it innocent.

No, you're wrong. That standard has changed.

Bear in mind that we imprison people "before they're found guilty by a court of law", . No we bind them over for trail, and unless they are a immediate risk to commit more crimes or flee they are given bail.
