No, you don't have "your day in court", because with asset forfeiture the burden of proof is on the person whose assets were seized even if they were never charged with a crime. Often it's just not worth the time and expense to get your property back.
You're like those clueless assholes who say "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear".
