There ought to be a law that a successful defense in a situation like this should be entitled to ALL its costs back.

Triple damages and triple costs - isn’t the the standard for corporate malfeasance?

You should get:
- All your money/stuff back.
- Reimbursement for all costs/fees associated with getting your stuff back.
- Penalty to the cops/gov of the same amount/value they attempted to steal.

So, if they confiscate $200k, and you spend $15k on lawyers and court costs, they owe you $415k. Tax-free.

Agreed! But even more, there needs to be sanctions imposed on the agency bringing such actions, and individually against those who authorized it.
