I read about this story a while back. Supposedly the safe deposit company was a front for some money laundering, but it also had a significant number of genuine customers and all of their property got rolled up as well. I thought I read that the customers had gotten some attorneys to fight for them.
Civil asset forfeiture is an obvious violation of the Fourth Amendment. The fact that it not only survived the very first court challenge against it but has somehow proliferated to every level of law enforcement in the country shows that the justice system is really just a fucking racket.
If its the same one I'm thinking of the warrant only allowed the FBI to take the records from the company and explicitly not any safe deposit boxes.
They did any way.

The FIB broke the law? GASP!!!
I see what you did there. lol
I hadn't heard that detail. An illegal seizure without a warrant should allow the victims to sue the agents in their individual capacity for a 14th Amendment "under color of law" violation. If it survives the FBI's inevitable challenge, the agency wouldn't be able to pay the legal bills of the agents.
Even if they don't expect to win, putting a dozen FBI agents in the position of having to pay for their own defense, potentially losing their savings and home in the process, should prompt the FBI to reconsider releasing the seized property.
LOL

Seems to be their historical behavior. Loot it all, let the courts sort it out. The merchandise and anything valuable will never be recovered, but the taxpayers will write you an insurance check minus deductible.
Shameful.
Everyone involved should be hanged as the criminals they are.
Tax payers won't be wrighting off any thing they stole it fair and square

2nd link is paywalled. Try this: https://12ft.io/proxy?&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.latimes.com%2Fcalifornia%2Fstory%2F2022-09-30%2Fjudge-backs-fbi-beverly-hills-safe-deposit-box-raid
So that's called perjury on the part of the agent that swore out the warrant application. But that's OK because:
So, fucking idiot judge says it's OK that the FBI lied to a different judge about what it planned to seize and why, because there warrant was valid for the search they said they were going to conduct (but did something else instead).
Honestly the solution to this violates forum rules, but it's an effective and permanent way to stop evil people from doing evil things.
Agree with everything but how many black people keep 40k in cash in a safe deposit box? She probably was a drug dealer.
Even Trump did nothing about it. What can we conclude from that?
