OK then, you tell me, under what circumstances can the government seize property? Can it seize evidence in a criminal case?

Government is very limited in what private property it can seize. Is there a gun it thinks was used in a crime? Yeah. The house the gun was in? No.

You are debating fallaciously. I consider it a nuisance so the government must have power to seize it. People's liberty is affected by loud boomboxes and I don't like them so that makes extreme remedies okay. Government can seize crime evidence under certain circumstances so it must be okay to seize any damn thing I don't like.

Those are not logical arguments.

People's "liberty" being affected by boomboxes can be remedied by something other than giving government the power to seize private property.

You don't like it, so abusing government power is fine by you as long as its for something you agree with. You won't listen to any argument that points out that this is a precedent that could very well affect you. If it does affect you, if some visitor brings a bag of pot in your house unknown to you, and they seize your house. You will scream bloody murder on this forum.

I got it. You don't like boomboxes. So the government can use any power they want to stop it whether the founders intended them to have that power or not. As long as government does what I want, I want it to be all powerful.

That's not conservative by the way, its self serving.
