Government seizure of property

1. Whether the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures continues to restrain governmental authority throughout the investigation, search, seizure, continued retention, examination, and permanent forfeiture of private property in a state civil forfeiture proceeding? 2. Whether the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment permits a State to permanently deprive a citizen of private property without first providing meaningful judicial consideration of preserved federal constitutional objections concerning the legality of the governmental conduct upon which the forfeiture is based? 3. Whether a State may constitutionally acquire permanent title to private property where the forfeiture judgment rests upon governmental conduct alleged to violate the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States? 4. Whether this Court should grant certiorari to reaffirm that constitutional protections remain fully operative throughout every stage of a civil forfeiture proceeding and that governmental authority remains continuously subject to the limitations imposed by the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments?
