This is a reply to notch: civil asset forfeiture works for cash and some possessions, but does not work for bank accounts. For the police to seize your bank accounts, they have to go through the courts.

You may want to read up a bit on how this stuff works.

You're very presumptuous. I have. Institute for Justice, one of the most active legal firms in this area will educate this on this matter [0]. Civil asset forfeiture is a non-criminal process where assets are forfeited civilly. If you think civil asset forfeiture is not used to seize bank accounts, you're mistaken.
