This is a separate issue from probable cause, arrests, searches, and warrants. The issue is this: If you are arrested for a crime, and the state claims some property you have was bought with the the proceeds of that crime and confiscates it, is the state allowed you keep your property or sell it and keep the money from the sale if you are later acquitted- -or the charges are dropped and you never have a chance to defend yourself at trial? The answer currently is YES. This appears to me to be denial of due process, and, since the state keeps the proceeds from the confiscation, an incentive for law enforcement agencies to violate citizen's rights.
