That's not what I mean. I mean the burden of proof and due process is the same as if I sued you for, e.g., injuring or stealing from me.

No its not. The burden of proof is on the property to prove that it is not linked to the crime alleged.

That's not true. The government must prove, by a prepondernace of the evidence, that the property is linked to crime.
