Yes. We have now become a nation where the government isn't for the protection of the innocent. Now government is here to create criminals in order to justify government interference in the lives of the citizenry.

Government is established to protect against (all) trespassing ... not to create trespassing in order to justify the existence of government.

It's a form of intimidation to make people think twice about causing trouble or speaking out.

Mmm, a police state is not a free state. It´s kinda late to notice this now...

Astonishing that this passed scrutiny. Have no idea what put the Government gets to seize anything until proven guilty, but it is obviously another step into (not toward) a police state.

They don't win everything, but they win a significant amount

But they don't seem to be having a lot of wins.

This has to be one of the most damaging SCOTUS decisions to the individual in favor of the state. The VI Amendment guarantees the right to the assistance of counsel for a fair trial. Yet SCOTUS continues to whittle away at that right and the right to Due Process for property right seizure. It leaves the accused with the least able counsel available, those that primarily work within the plea bargain system that the courts like.

There are very few people that can truly afford the counsel of their choice and for those that can, SCOTUS allows the state to prevent that choice. There is no longer an innocent till proven guilty right in this country.

It's an atrocity.

One of the few organizations out there worth giving money to.

Absolutely. Even worse in some states that allow local police to effect the seizure.

It's leading law enforcement to wrongfully accuse someone of a crime so they can confiscate the assets as an incentive to increase arrests and fill public-private prisons.
