'“9/11 caused a lot of officers to realize they should be out there looking for those kind of people,” said David Frye, a part-time Nebraska county deputy sheriff who serves as chief instructor at Desert Snow and was operations director of Black Asphalt. “When money is taken from an organization, it hurts them more than when they lose the drugs.”' Wait, what? I was unaware that 9/11 was perpetrated by drug trafficker…

A lot of money laundering operations is related to terrorist financing. Also, many terrorist organizations finance themselves via drug sales.

A lot of money laundering was done by large US banks who were not held criminally responsible.

The local governments invariable claim it's not about the money; it's about safety or some such. I want an amendment that puts all the money from fines, seizures, etc. to the national debt. That's the closest thing to a black hole for money I can think of. Watch them scream then. Not about the money, my ass.

No, we should pass a law barring law enforcement from seizing property in any case until a judgment has been reached in a court of law.

How would you distinguish seizure of property with the false justification of probable cause, from legitimate seizure of evidence with legitimate probable cause?

I assume you are not advocating that police cannot collect evidence until after a crime is proven in court.
