Why would it take that for you to be concerned about police stealing peoples property?
I'll start being concerned when I see real world examples of this taking place, as opposed to internet or forum bullsheet.

IMHO, the time to worry is when the man that made the argument gets home, and does not see torches and pitchforks. At the very least his face should be posted all over town on "UNWANTED" posters, no business should be required to serve him

The head of DEA told the National Press Club the nation wide system of plate readers would likely not slow the movement of drugs, but would lead to more CAF.
The newest Mo state park is on property that the DEA decided the owner was not doing enough to curb drug use by people attending concerts on the grounds.
A band was touring the country collecting money for a charity. Law enforcement in OK seized the money. The band was able to attract press attention, the story was picked up nationally, and instead of having the press investigate, they gave the money back.
Like I have said before, when I swore to protect the constitution it had so many amendments I couldn't keep track. Now it's just got one.
