Mr. Poszgai went in after mortgaging everything he had and buying up this 14acre parcel of property. he cleaned it up. took 7.000 tires off the property. and was immediately charged with criminal violations of the Clean Water Act. He was arrested in his place of business and hauled off because he had destroyed a wetland by taking the tires off of his property. Now. this is a Hungarian immigrant who had very little money. He did not even have a lawyer before. He was taken to court after his home was searched for guns. Mr. Chairman. How in the world could a Federal Government even reason that there was reasonable cause to believe that a gun was used in the commission of a crime which was to remove 7.000 tires from private property?
