"Can we as conservatives at least join together and agree that it's complete and utter crap for the state to be able to seize property of people merely accused of a crime? It's become clear that the state doesn't like to relinquish what it's seized even if people are found not guilty. Can we at least agree that this is blatantly unConstitutional and flies in the face of everything our Founding Fathers believed? Please?"

Quite correct and I for one agree.

(though I fully expect to be flamed by the wod swallowers)

I'm with you.

This dude was accused and found NOT GUILTY of a crime. I do not understand why then is his property still in jeopardy? If there were another outstanding charge that involved the property I would like to know about it.

Asset seizure laws apply when no charge is made???? They can willy-nilly seize???
