I couldn't agree more.  I've never personally been a victim of this travesty of justice.  But in the early 70's, my mom worked for the DEA, then transferred to US Customs.  I got to know several of the drug enforcement agents, who all drove nice sports cars confiscated at the border when the driver tried to enter the country with "contraband," which could be as little as an ounce of pot.  No due process of law.  The government just took it because it could.  I wondered how that could be Constitutional 45 years ago.
