For the first time, the government has the power to seize a citizen’s assets even before the citizen has been charged with a crime.

Perhaps Mr. Martin has never heard of the war on drugs. If the cops even SUSPECT your property or money was linked to illegal drugs, they can seize every last cent, not charge you with anything, and force YOU to sue to get it back.

And you have a problem with that? Freedom has a price you know.
