From the article:

    State Sen. Kyle Loveless, R-Oklahoma City, said that
    removes due process and the belief that a suspect is
    presumed innocent until proven guilty. He said we've
    already seen cases in Oklahoma where police are abusing
    the system. 

    "We've seen single mom's stuff be taken, a cancer
    survivor his drugs taken, we saw a Christian band being
    taken. We've seen innocent people's stuff being taken.
    We've seen where the money goes and how it's been
    misspent," Loveless said.
If State Sen. Loveless's statement is accurate, it appears that these victims were unable to get the charges reversed by their banks' fraud departments.

So what would this device look like? Is it performing ACH or wire transfer transactions? Or is this just sending card information to the company, which then automates the state government's garnishment process?

I'll be interested to get the full story when details are available.

I'm glad there's some pushback from the state legislature!
