I think it is still possible to be pro-law-enforcement, anti-decriminalization of drugs, and at the same time embrace the bill of rights and ALL of the protections from government tyranny asserted therein.

You know, things like "... nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

It should go without saying that if the government cannot ESTABLISH that laws have been violated then it cannot seize property (including large amounts of cash). And suspicion or even "common sense" is not an adequate burden of proof.

The funny thing is you will call me a Ron Paul Losertarian on this thread while others will call me a statist for my position that we still need to enforce our drug laws.

Never a reply about the constitutionality of confiscating property from people without due process. Amazing, isn’t it, that some on this site just overlook our natural, God-given rights when convenient.
