It's even worse in the USA. The wise government has decided that if 
you're dealing drugs, it's often difficult to prove it, so what they do 
instead of trying to arrest you is they arrest your money, your cars, 
your house, etc.  Since your money isn't guaranteed a lawyer, you have 
to sue the government and prove you're innocent to get your stuff back. 
If you don't the police get to keep it.

Funny enough, in the states where the law says the police give all those 
confiscated assets to (for example) the school system instead of 
themselves, the number of abuses of the practice is far lower. </sarcasm>
