Maybe one of our esteemed attorneys can correct me where I'm wrong or elaborate on the details but if I remember correctly, as it was explained to me back when, as much as you would like to extent certain rights and protections afforded to you by the Constitution to your property, your property is not protected the same way.
Your property does not have the right to a speedy trial, to be presumed innocent or have the right to representation. Among many other things.
And so the authorities have this "loophole" as it were , for confiscating your property without much cause and without leaving you much recourse.
I would think that the Fourth Amendment would cover that.
