Sincerely, JUDITH C. RUSSELL Superintendent of Documents Forfeiture Endangers American Rights is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to reform of federal and state asset forfeiture laws to restore due process and protect property rights in the forfeiture process. http://www.fear.org/ In 2003 the net dollar amount of forfeiture was over $450million. That's not the total, just the net amount, and it doesn't include state forfeiture, just federal. A number of state courts have held that there is no right to a jury trial at all in state civil forfeiture cases. And even when the claimant is given a trial, it is not like a criminal trial -- instead of the government having to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, the burden of proof is on the property owner to prove his/her innocence and the innocence of their property Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diablopilot 2 #3 September 8, 2004 Hey Quade. Here's one of those quirky little things that comes from "not unreasonable requests". How far are we really from having a manditory "must carry ID" law? Draw the line.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
