The current incentive for the police is that they get to keep drug money, cars and whatever else in these raids. The raid is based on economics and not a need for public safety. I have seen cops let severly intoxicated people go, who have later severely injured people, just so that they could be in place for a suspected car containing drugs. The supposed war on drugs is the cause for most of this foolishness. Public safety is not of concern unless they screw up then this is the police mantra much like the gun banners "its for the children, think of the children."

How does any of this relate to the recent USSC ruling we are discussing?
