>Somehow the whole idea of "asset forfeiture" reminds me of the Dire Straits' line "we have legalized robbery". No due process, no burden of proof, just having cash in your car is enough?

Dragan, you cut right to the heart of the matter.

Years ago, I knew a guy who had lived in Mexico for a few years.
He said the Federales (Mexican Federal Police) broke into his house, accused him of crimes, and then stole all his cash and valuables.
I was so glad I lived in the good old USA where that could never happen..

Now the only difference I see is that the Federales at least had enough sense of shame to lie about what they were doing.
Our regime has lost all moral authority.
