I saw a doco on a dispensary owner who was shut down and charged but was found not guilty or had the charges dropped and two years on had spent tens of thousands of dollars on legal fees and still didn't have any of his personal property back.
If anyone is in any dought that it happens then-

Years ago 60 minutes ran a piece about cops in Mississippi patrolling the interstate looking for expensive cars like Caddy's , Mercedes, etc. When they spotted a good candidate they would pull them over and claim they had crossed the center line, then use that to search the car, sometimes they would get lucky and find some dope or money which they promptly seized. They claimed one woman had a secret compartment that COULD be used to smuggle dope. Anyway they would confiscate your car and it was up to you to hire a lawyer to get it back.
