Quote:I'd say it is. I'd also say it is a mentality with a lot of folks. It's just my observation, but on an individual, I see little outcry, in fact I see quite the opposite, where people decry when some evidence is thrown out (like rj is alluding to, or joking about)

People seem it is fine for searches to be authorized for nearly any reason, yet when there is a hint that you can't own a sub machine gun, the gun right groups cry.


I wonder if that would change if people knew that the police could seize your property without actually finding the thing they said the search was for, or anything illicit at all.
