YEah, there's the problem of government incompetence, which
we've got quite enough now, but, remember that property
seizures are only for folks involved in so-called crimes of
a consensual nature, such as the guy growing some weed under grow lights in
his basement.  Then we seize property.
Protecting dogs and cats, low on the priority ladder.  Also
remember that property seizure is a weapon we only use
against those whose points of view we don't like.
