There are laws that allow asset forfeiture, like it or not. There is a process that we can use to get rid of laws we don't like, which is picking up steam in the case of asset forfeiture. Simply calling it a crime because you don't like it, doesn't make it so. Asset forfeiture laws were made to discourage people from engaging in criminal activity for the sole purpose of acquiring very large sums of money. They may have gone off track, and need to be reined in, but they make sense.

I can absolutely prove I own everything of consequence, house, cars, bank accounts, etc... If the government wants to spend thousands of dollars to take my lawnmower, they can knock themselves out.

Tell it to those who absolutely can prove the money in the confiscated bank account was legally earned but the feds took it anyway-as the Maryland dairy farmer interviewed on Fox recently.The tissue-thin justification by the feds was he made too many small deposits instead of fewer big ones! No allegation of criminal behavior,no avoidance of taxes.

Maybe when they take YOUR bank account you’ll wake up?
