Police in Hawaii, among other places in the "land of the free", don't need to arrest you or even charge you with a crime to seize your property. You can ask for your day in civil court but you have to pay a bond and pay for a lawyer so usually the cost is higher than the property is worth and people have to just let the state rob them. 96% of these cases never see a judge. If you do make it to court to try to get your stuff back, the threshold for the state is lower than criminal cases so, "Talking too much, talking too little, acting too nervous, acting too calm, making too much eye contact, or making too little eye contact can all substitute for actual evidence—the kind that would hold up in a criminal trial." You can not say America is a free country if the state can just take your stuff at any time without even charging you with a crime. Private property rights are essential for a free society. https://reason.com/2025/02/18/hawaii-can-auction-off-your-car-without-ever-convicting-you/

"Hawaii does not provide the data due to weak reporting laws" We should know better than this by now.
