"Seizure laws, before any conviction or even a day in court for that matter, are totally unconstitutional."

Amen, Steve, I couldn't have said it any better. Seizure laws, before any conviction or even a day in court for that matter, are totally unconstitutional.

Our government's system of legal robbery.

Who in their right mind carries $22,000 cash on them? Well, it's not illegal but it is suspicious

See what you could earn doing the work that America legal citizens want to do.
