Yes. There are ignorant people who don’t really understand the concept, in our government, in society, and even on this forum.
To them, it would be fine if you lived in an apartment building where drugs were being sold, and the police came in and seized everything in the building to search, including YOUR property, because, hey, you weren’t doing anything wrong. You have nothing to fear.
In this case, there were law-abiding citizens with signed contracts for Safe Deposit boxes, even if there were people illegally doing something. It is contingent on the law enforcement agency to target those boxes they have reasonable suspicion are being used illegally, and have documentation to prove it in order to get a focused search warrant.
And there are some who understand it all too well.
