   Ok, then let's start again:   
      
   You asked: Do the above examples interfere with due process?   
      
   My answer: depends;   
      
   Due process: An established course for judicial proceedings or other   
   governmental activities designed to safeguard the legal rights of the   
   individual. AHD, 3rd ed.   
      
   In each of your examples, was an established legal course followed and   
   were the legal rights of the individual protected? If yes, then the   
   prohibition is legal.
