I see his point went way over your head. You don't HAVE to commit a
drug crime in order for your cash, vehicle or even home to be seized.

But you do have to be suspected of one,

LOL - that's wonderful, isn't it?

We suspect you, therefore, you're guilty.


The state still has to meet some burden of proof other than "because I
said so."

No they don't.


And screw-ups where people are falsely accused and assets seized are
so rare as not be an issue.


It's happened way too often in the past. Just because you think it's rare does not make it a non-issue.


It doesn't seem like that huge a leap before they suspect you because
your neighbor said so.


In the imagination, yes. In reality, they are worlds apart.


I hope it never happens, and yet things that I hope never happen do so on a regular basis.


Why did you ignore my links regarding the CSP line for reporting
aggressive drivers which clearly said that based on the words of others
you can be given a citation?


I didn't ignore them - because they don't apply. One person can't do
it - it has to be five.

It's still analogous. Those five people are your "neighbors" in the sense that you have used the word.

And if five separate people take the time to
call in, I'm guessing the problem actually exists.


You see, "guessing" shouldn't be good enough in a court of law.

It's disheartening that some people think it should be.


and PC rules are still in
effect. Cops can't arbitarily decide to take your stuff.

And yet it happens.


It doesn't. I'll agree that mistakes happen. Humans make mistakes -
no doubt about it.


The cop gets to play judge, jury and executioner and take it and then
it's up to you to come up with bond and hire a lawyer and fight to get
it back - a task which is made more difficult when your assets have just
been seized.

Except it's not like that at all.

You mean it shouldn't be like that.


No, I meant what I wrote, exactly.

E.P.
