Yes, hopefully (though hopefully not at the scale you may be imagining). Cops have turned into thugs in this country and something needs to be done about it. Maybe legalizing drugs would fix everything. I don't know. But cops in this country aren't even accountable for the people that they kill. There are no logs on how many murders are carried out by police.
Yes, they can take our property, including cash, for no reason (something like 90% of dollar bills test positive for traces of cocaine). And in this case all the officers had to do was say they smelled weed. I have been a victim of this "smell like weed" abuse myself, in which everyone in my vehicle was pulled out and searched. My vehicle was then searched without my permission. They found nothing and gave me a speeding ticket for going 5 miles over the speed limit.
But seizing our property means nothing when they can take our lives without the public knowing about it.
