Let's say someone smoked weed outside your house and right off your property, your house can be taken by the police even if you have no relation with the person and they did not enter your property because your lack of relationship or their history at your property is contested by the government and your house itself is the accused and the evidence therefore being an inanimate object that can't defend itself it now belongs to them. Can't make this up lol

But, I mean, you did just make that up.
The fact that asset can be seized without any due process based on suspicion alone? How did I make that up? That's what the whole topic is about.
