I don't think judges exceed their authority in issuing confiscation orders per se, but they DO exceed their authority when doing so ex parte. It doesn't take a jury to decide, but it does require both sides being heard and presenting evidence.
Reasonable suspicion isn't probable cause, and that is the problem with these laws. The 4th Amendment mandates that arrest, search and seizure warrants may only issue upon probable cause of a crime, not of the possibility of a future crime, alleged without corroboration.
This isn't razor-edge parsing, either. There either IS probable cause, or there ISN'T.
And a mere allegation, ISN'T. |

TO REMEMBER |
| In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all — security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again. — EDWARD GIBBON [On ancient Athens] |
