The government can not force you to "turn it in" without just compensation for the property.

Why not? They do it all the time with eminent domain and civil forfeiture.

Eminent domain still requires just compensation. Civil forfeiture happens AFTER you are convicted of a crime. It is part of a formal sentence following due process.
