It’s when the government/police can seize your property/assets/belongings without being charged for a crime. For example, when a highway is being built and you refuse to sell your house, so they take/sell your house by force. With cops, they just need to “suspect” you’re committing a crime; even after they confirmed you haven’t, fhey still keep your stuff.
**my bad, the police seizure is asset forfeiture. Similar concept as eminent domain, but different procedures.
I love how the chinese have nail houses because the govt can't just fucking take your shit like they do in the west. But we're the free ones 🙄
They apparently did a few times when they did vanity projects like hosting the olympics
Thanks ryan gosling
It's a forced sale -- they take your house but pay you market value for it. And it can only occur after you get an opportunity to oppose it in court.
It's one of those things that can be done better or worse, but it's a power every state has because there are material constraints on where public works can be built.
