seems that there are two schools of thought with this process. There are those who remember that the justice system is supposed to be 'innocent until proven guilty' with the burden of proof upon the government and there are those who seem quite comfortable with placing their trust and faith in a government that considers all parties guilty until they can prove they aren't.

I hate to sound like Michael Moore, but 'dude, wheres my country?'

nobody should HAVE to prove that they came by their money legitimately. It should ALWAYS have to be proven by the government that you got it illegally. Forcing the individual to prove their innocence is allowing the government to be lackadaisical in their duties and providing them with more power over YOU.
