This lady had to get a court order for the FBI to return the property they stole from her.

This is not an isolated incident. I had something similar happen to me about ten years ago where US police used a ridiculous pretext to search my apartment.
The only reason why I let them because I had nothing of much value stored in my apartment at the time and I felt threatened by their demeanor and they didn't exactly asked my permission.
These cops were little more than thugs. There is no doubt in my mind if they found anything of enough value like cash they would have stolen it.
When they didn't find anything they left and I never heard from them again.
They can use civil forfeiture laws or use the Patriot Act to take anything they want from you without any warrant or due process or even explanation.
I believe the US has turned into something unrecognizable since 9/11, which they have used as an excuse to subvert our civil rights.
What other country makes you take your damn shoes off to go through airport security? Land of the free my ass.
Just goes to show how little respect they have for your civil rights and their way to condition the population to gradually accept these "little" daily insults to your liberty.
The US government is becoming more like China or North Korea every day.
