Abstract

In 2021, the FBI raided a private safe-deposit company in Beverly Hills as part of an investigation into money laundering. However, the FBI overstepped its authority by seizing the property of innocent individuals along with criminals. A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has now rebuked the FBI for this lawless search and seizure, stating that it violated the constitutional rights of the individuals involved. The ruling serves as a reminder that the government cannot conduct fishing expeditions that harm innocent individuals. [Extracted from the article]
