But I can also point out that the people who have their property seized are entitled to full due process in court to get their money back. I agree that in many cases they should never have to go to this trouble and expense. But it is much different than having the government use its power to take property from people with no recourse.
If anything you would have a stronger argument in the area of the governments abuse of "eminent domain", but I am not going to make your points for you.
Ha! Eminent Domain was the most obvious avenue, therefore it goes without mentioning.
Yeah victims of robbery have due process, but at what cost? In many cases, Recourse is such a burden and often times difficult to ascertain. It's effectively an abuse of power even if you refuse to see it.
