This has been going on for a very long time. It was the tip of the iceberg for how far they will now go.

City of Tampa, Florida
Internal Affairs Bureau
Call (813) 274-5849 to report complaints of misconduct by Tampa Police Department officers.
You know why they chose HIS (nice) truck? Because they WANTED it.
Because of civil forfeiture —if they found dope, they could seize the vehicle.

We’re something like 25 - 30 years into this sort of thing. It’s here to stay.

They misspelled “doobieous”.

I think the only way this stuff is going to stop is when the victims take the cases to trial, and the juries give awards that literally bankrupt municipalities (not this case, per se, but the shootings, home invasions and other violations of constitutional rights that destroy lives). There is no punitive effect on the police when all that happens is the residents foot the bill for their wrongdoing through increased property taxes or insurance costs incurred to settle lawsuits out of court.

Not just bankrupt the municipalities but also those involved directly with the search.

If he hadn't been at the concert, this would have never happened.
Or....
Something tells me that we aren't hearing the complete story....
How did I do channeling my inner boot-licker?

The rest of the note, that responsible humans would have written:
We did not find anything illegal, and we apologize for destroying your vehicle. Please come down to the station to pick up your check, so that you can buy a new vehicle. Again, we acted stupidly and we apologize. In addition, the town will pay for a rental vehicle, and the gas that you use until you are able to buy a new vehicle. Also, if you missed work or your wife divorced you over this, we will fully compensate you.
We promise that we will not play the Gestapo again, and that we will respect your rights and those of other citizens in the future. We, like you, do not want this country to become a police state.

I remember a case not too long ago where they reviewed a drug dog’s record. Turns out the dog was wrong as much as he was right. Basically a coin flip, but still probable cause in the eyes of the law.

Probable cause is now "probably, 'cause."
Evolving Constitution and all that.
