FUCK THE POLICE! No, FUCK THE COURTS! (At least the 9th circuit.)
Cops get warrant to seize things, including money from a guy. They do so. Police file an inventory report to the judge saying they seized $50,000. Guy says they actually took $150,000 AND $125,000 in rare coins. Does the guy have a case?
No. Not according to the 9th circuit.

City of Fresno, 918 F.3d 1031 (9th Cir. 2019), and filed a superseding opinion in its place.The panel affirmed the district court’s order granting theCity of Fresno police officers’ motion for summary judgment in an action alleging that the officers violated the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments when they stole Appellants’ property during the execution of a search and seizure pursuant to a warrant. Following the search, the City Officers gave Appellants an inventory sheet stating that they seized approximately $50,000 from Appellants’ properties. Appellants alleged, however, that the officers actually seized $151,380 in cash and another $125,000 in rare coins. Appellants alleged that the City Officers stole the difference between the amount listed on the inventory sheet and the amount actually seized from the properties. The panel held that at the time of the incident, there was no clearly established law holding that officers violate the Fourth or Fourteenth Amendment when they steal property seized pursuant to a warrant.
