Reading the letter to the governor is an exercise in hot button language. Law enforcement can no longer go after organized crime if the LEO's can't just take assets without a conviction. Opponents push their agendas. The LEO's don't have an agenda of course. The evidence is not just from Colorado. Of course Colorado doesn't collect the data but still... The threshold level is too high - half of the assets seized would be under the 50K limit. Seems like small time crime if 50K is more than the assets seized. 

Most importantly, these LEO's ignore the lack of due process, something most would associate with the "innocent until proven guilty" thing. Then again, too many LEO's view courts and trials as obstructions to "real" justice.
