This is just plain wrong. If the motel was a problem, the business license or fire codes, or health dept violations could have forced them to clean up. The police just plain taking it is a bigger crime than anything that department has possibly prevented. So if criminals keep breaking into my house, the cops can take my house away "to stop the problem?"
This is a terrible thing, but it is not the first time the government just came in and stolen privately owned property. Think about all the retirements that were backing government mortages and government securities. The government in effect, help the financial industry steal, making a lot of criminals rich. Don't forget about eminent domain abuses either, like the land (and their home) that the SIA plant sits on that was forcefully taken from the Robinson family.
