When the FCC makes you an offer you can't refuse

Did you know the IRS can seize your assets without having gone to the trouble of proving you violated any law? Same goes for street cops — who have been empowered under asset forfeiture laws to simply take any “excessive” (as defined by them) cash they find on your person in the course of a traffic stop. In both both cases, it’s up to us to prove the money was not acquired as the result of “illegal” activity — reversing a once-basic tenet of American law that said a person is presumed innocent until he is proved guilty.

And now the Federal Communications Commission.
