Cops still take more stuff from people than burglars do

90 days is a long time. Imagine a recent college graduate moving cross country to a new city in search of work. They are unlikely to have resources to live for 90 days if the cops seize all their cash.

The cops can get a warrant. If they can’t convince a judge then they don’t need to seize anything. The police serve us, not the other way around.

Local police bar near me has a sign above the entry that says “brothers before others”.

They know who they serve. Seems to be themselves.

There's also a big hierarchy once they get into the others territory, and it's usually in lockstep with socioeconomic status.
