This is wonderful and it takes courage to post something like this...

I love your view and assessment of this universal problem

It's a policy problem.
And that's because the Constitution is supposed to protect against this sort of activity. The Constitution is supposed to protect against the government being able to take whatever it wants without following due process of law. This means that no property should be able to be confiscated without there being proof that a crime was committed and a conviction.

Something has to be done about this.. God's speed sir!
