Well it is rather simple, justice should be paid by those who benefit or unstable society is created. These kind of laws should be to stop crimes not confiscate property. Confiscate property is called a fine and unless paid property could be sold to get money. It should only be allowed to confiscate property illegally transferred. Since value should not be confiscated once fine is paid and other punishment is done value left belong to the owner who ever it is. To put in another way the goverment should not be allowed to take money for nothing not even from those they claim are criminals because this is what usually is called theft.
