What's Yours Is Theirs
There is knock at the door. It's the police.
"We're here to take your house," says the officer. "You're going to be living on the street by tonight - we do this every day." After hauling you forcibly outside, they screw the doors shut and cut your utilities.
And there you stand, alone on the street - your fully paid-off house now in the possession of the government, which can do with it what it pleases. Most times, they'll sell it and use the proceeds to buy more cop stuff.
This is civil forfeiture: If police suspect property has been involved in a crime, they can take it immediately, with no recourse on your part.
Oh, and by the way, our likely next attorney general is completely committed to this travesty of justice!
(Note the word "suspect"; no real NEED to do that,just SAY that. No way to prove the lie - in fact, no _place_ to complain).
