I mentioned this in another thread and realized it deserves its own.
This is crazy. A lot of people learned the hard way after the CAID raid last year that the police can bust in and take your stuff even if you've done nothing wrong. Turns out it's not just the DPD, it's all over Metro Detroit, and some departments are even admitting it's a blatant money grab.

How does such a situation get changed? It's already been all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which has upheld the legality of foreiture laws. But I doubt this is what they had in mind.
