"Only the government is allowed to seize assets without civil trial."

They can seize YOU and throw you in jail without a trial. I would think that would be of greater concern.

Yes, they can seize assets. They can't keep them without a trial, so I have no idea what point you're trying to make.

"Constitutional protections like presumption of innocence until proved guilty, and trial by a jury of your peers have been destroyed by the drug war."

Not at all. And you cannot give me one example of what you're talking about.

They can and they do all the time. Boats, cars, houses, cash. No trial. No criminal prosecution. You have to sue in order to get them back, and that rarely works. You are an idiot if you didn’t know this.

That’s a bold faced untrue statement and you know it!

Oh yes they can. If they don't press charges against you, they can just keep the money and spend it on doughnuts and wiretaps.
