4th amendment: and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

170 rubber stamped warrants hardly fit the bill.

Amendment 5:nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation

Being locked up for several weeks on $1,000,000 bond sounds, to me, to be a violation. Oh, they also confiscated many bikes and cars. See where it says no private property be taken?

Amendment 8:

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflict

$1,000,000 bail per 170 folks is excessive. In My Opinion, of course. What would you think excessive $2,000,000? $5,000,000? What? There’s gotta be an amount you think would be excessive.

There’s a few. I’m sure I missed a few others. After all, I’m not a Constitutional scholar.

Being at the scene of a significant murder, being a member of one of the groups involved, being armed, being seen hiding weapons, hiding from LEO, IS probably cause.

Next?

Please cite which did not specify that which you quoted from the 4th.

“Amendment 5:nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation Being locked up for several weeks on $1,000,000 bond sounds, to me, to be a violation.

I believe that all were given their due process of law. Filing for Habeas Corpus, bond reduction hearings, etc. As for forfeiture, the US Supreme Court has heard numberous cases and federal and state law have been adjusted to these decisions.

“Amendment 8: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflict. $1,000,000 bail per 170 folks is excessive. In My Opinion, of course.”

Of course, your opinion.
