Corporations are not human beings....nobody thinks they are. However, corporations are treated as persons under the law. Corporation have many of the same rights as people because they are comprised of people. People do not lose their constitutional rights just because they come together and pool their resources to do business.
Suppose Brian37 and Minimalist start a janitorial company which takes on a corporate form. Just because those two wish to do business as a corporation would not allow the police to seize their corporate truck and sell it without due process. If corporations were not considered persons for the purpose of law....the police could do exactly that.
And that is wrong, that is like treating the the apartment 4 people live in as being a human itself. It is giving rights to the apartment. Objects do not have rights.
Sorry Haywood,
You do understand this mentality is also what has allowed police to keep money on a stop even if the person is not arrested or convicted of a crime? It is treating an object as a suspect, humans are suspects, not objects.
I know you do not want to accept it, but the reason big business likes this, isn't because it is about their rights, it is because they want more excuses to do whatever they want.
Money is not your DNA. A piece of paper is not physically a human being. Humans have rights, objects do not.
