The concept of guilty until proven innocent makes me very uncomfortable, since there are probably a slew of legitimate transfers ensnared for years while their owners attempt to get their money back.

As a minor threadjack, this is no worse than the government's (local, state, and federal?) policy of seizing anything they can claim was used in a crime. Examples are a john's car, a drug smuggler's boat, and so on.

To be clear, if the penalty for solicitation of prostitution is $100, the local officials should NOT be allowed to keep a john's $20,000 car, just because he was driving it at the time.

We, the voters, need to wake up.
