Because they don't have any basis for claiming that it belongs to them. Whereas property accused of being used for illegal purposes does have such a basis.

- baddox 11y agoSo the cops just have to declare that they believe the property has been used for illegal purposes, then they can search your house and take whatever they want. That's not much of a barrier.
- ikeboy 11y agoIt's more complicated. A house is treated differently (I linked some resources on why elsewhere in this thread), and going in requires a warrent.
