What was the actual “Probable Clause” they cited? And why in the hell would ANY judge ever sign off on something like this? Maybe it’s time to get rid of Judges or severely limit their authority over 4th Amendment issues. Personally I think every last government employee involved in this Constitutional Absurdity belongs in PRISON for a Minimum of 5 years for this travesty and Complete Civil Asset Forfeiture, just like all other Organized Crime Gangs.
They go to Judges who I have little respect for.
Unfortunately today, like many swat teams, they seem to be the rule not the exception.
Offhand I cannot even think of a fringe case where I agree with civil forfeiture.
