I'm not sure I agree with America being a wealthy 3rd world country, but I guess since this is a politics thread I'll make the two most obvious arguments against Rostum's points.
A justice system that says you are innocent until proven bankrupt
Um, the 6th Amendment gives the right to a public defender. While it is based on income proof such as credit documents, a good number of judges will go on your word alone. Of course, this primarily affects criminal court. Civil court is another matter, but the fees inherent there aren't astronomical and even then, you should never go into a civil suit unless you're 100% certain you can win.
Which for anybody who's watched an episode of Judge Judy, shows that's not hard at all.
A paramilitary police force seizing assets from the public without just causehttp://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/investigative/2014/09/06/stop-and-seize/
When I opened that article, I fully expected to hear about the town over cited and their police corruption charges.
But the big problem with search and seizures is not with the police (though as stated, police corruption is still a variable) but the citizen. Unless an officer has probable cause (and a routine traffic stop like speeding or busted tail-light is not probable cause, where all those instances are cited), under the 4th Amendment the officer cannot search your vehicle without your consent. Even then, if they do so without your wish, the defense attorney can have the evidence thrown out in court (and the evidence is needed in court before it can be outsourced to departments).
