   YEah, there's the problem of government incompetence, which   
   we've got quite enough now, but, remember that property   
   seizures are only for folks involved in so-called crimes of   
   a consensual nature, such as the guy growing some weed under grow lights in   
   his basement.  Then we seize property.   
   Protecting dogs and cats, low on the priority ladder.  Also   
   remember that property seizure is a weapon we only use   
   against those whose points of view we don't like.
