Seizure of people assets before a conviction of guilt should be resisted with force. If it comes to this we are just a third world nation and the laws have no meaning only force and resistance will have meaning.

Read up on asset forfeiture. No conviction is necessary. Heck, no charges are necessary. The presumption of innocence is completely turned on its head. Its up to the defendant to prove he, and his property (yes, his property) are innocent of any wrong-doing.

One study shows 80% of people whose property is seized under federal law are never charged with a crime.

See here for more information.
