Holy F-ing Crap!!! The art gallery automobile seizure in this video at the 7:50 mark is frightening. And people roll their eyes when someone "exaggerates" and says "police state". Civil forfeiture exists in Canada but my understanding of the tenet is that the items in question must be directly linked to a crime - as in on-paper, court documents. Although we also have a 'Civil Remedies Act' in Ontario that has been the source of a few questionable seizures.

I certainly will never bring cash to the U.S. again to buy a car, that is for sure.
