I'm sorry, I don't see any of those definitions including the mention of compensation being offered, quite the contrary.
verb (used with object), confiscated, confiscating.
1.
to seize as forfeited to the public domain; appropriate, by way of penalty, for public use.
2.
to seize by or as if by authority; appropriate summarily:
The border guards confiscated our movie cameras.
1. includes "as forfeited", which seems to indicate .. no compensation
2. do you think the border guards offered compensation for the cameras? do you think "seizing by authority", is an indication of compensation being offered?
hilarious

This is my point. The definitions don't preclude compensation whether they are ordinarily used to mean that or not. If you insist that confiscate must necessarily occur without compensation, then please share a source otherwise you are wrong... again.
