Dude.
The day our country became in danger, is back in 1988 or so, when Reagan (who I otherwise loved) decided to push for civil forfeiture for the mere SUGGESTION the property was involved in a drug crime or proceeds from a drug crime.
I saw the handwriting on the wall even back then. I knew we were trending towards a Police State and that individual freedom was in big trouble.

I could be wrong on this, but didn’t the local sheriff had the right to tell the Feds to take a flying leap? I had picked up somewhere [vague memory alert] that the sheriff had the real power then. Not sure that’s still the case. Up in Bedford VA, a drug running sheriff got nailed by the FBI. Hm ....
