What other rights can so quickly peeled away ? How about seizing knives, baseball bats, power tools, etc.? Impounding motor vehicles ? Cleaning out medicine cabinets ? Blacklisting alcoholics, forbidding them to use or purchase alcohol ? Last time I looked, being an alcoholic was not a chargeable offense. And as noted, the standard of evidence will be hearsay and little else. Next we'll be having trials in absentia, then hearings where the accused is not allowed to have counsel on the grounds that it's an "administrative" matter.
