Another couple of cases come to mind. This might have been in PA, not sure without looking it up again, but this was a recent one. The owners had their hotel seized because fourteen people (customers) had been arrested over the course of fifteen years there for drugs (smoking pot, etc.) An arrest did not prompt this seizure. The agency was going over their arrests looking for property they could justify seizing for profit, and they discovered these arrests over the course of, as I said, fifteen years. So they took the $2.1 million property. The couple had a big fight getting it back.
One of the more egregious cases happened in California. A retired couple owned some very valuable property that the cops wanted, so they did a no-knock at 4AM. When they busted into the bedroom, the man thought they were being attacked by robbers and so grabbed his bedside gun. The cops shot him dead in bed. The agency then searched the acreage hoping to find some marijuana plants thus justifying the raid. Of course, there weren't any.
I don't remember what the lawsuit came to on that. This stuff happens all the time. The problem is--as if that weren't enough--that the cops are never reprimanded, fired, or arrested themselves, and the citizens have to pay for the lawsuit. Even if the agency's insurance covers it, the citizens pay through increased insurance costs.
Some PDs have been shut down because either they can no longer afford the cost of the insurance, or the insurer refuses to insure them any more. Just the other day a city near Cincinnati, Lincoln Heights, OH, disbanded their PD because they had so many lawsuits they were uninsurable. WCPO 9 Cincinnati conducted "one of the most eye-opening investigations into police corruption this year."
