I'm also admittedly biased in the tyranny-versus-crime argument, against tyranny. The difference is, for a small business, seizing these amounts of money amounts to executing the business. We do refrain from executing people before they're convicted. There ought to be some process where the small business owner can quickly file to have the money returned as essential to operating the business, pending trial (similar to jail bond).We don't search people's houses only after they've been proven guilty
