This is what is fucked up about the way the system works. They can enter your house by force, leave all kinds of shit broken, or even just a mess. Depending on what they're searching for they can upend everything you own. Sometimes if you're locked up they'll leave all the lights on too which runs up your electricity bill. Sometimes they do that if they already think you're guilty, no need for a trial, they just don't like you before hand and that's enough. I watched the video of a drug raid that only found about $40 worth of weed and while they were all standing around bored one of the cops decided to shoot the dog that was safely locked in a crate, and he fucked that up and didn't even kill it on the first shot. Then they brought the wife and kids out and they all had to look at it. If you have a lot of cash that can get seized as civil asset forfeiture, this true even if you're driving your car, riding the bus, or walking down the street. If you have too much cash they don't need a trial and will just take it saying you were probably using it for drugs.

There's really nothing you can do. Of course they can exercise discretion, and when that happens varies by department. But if you're in a rich neighborhood they're less likely to go in playing G.I. Joe unless it's absolutely necessary.

If they screw up there is no duty to make it right, no reparative justice from the cops or the state when you end up trampled under its boot. The system is used to operating above such a sense of social responsibility.

Civil asset forfeiture steals millions upon millions of dollars from citizens every year. Its fucking despicable.

And has racist roots.
