Court blasts FBI for confiscating privately owned contents of vaults

A new report from the Institute for Justice reveals that the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against the federal government in that long-running fight over the contents of privately rented vaults at U.S. Private Vaults.

”The decision slammed the FBI for overstepping its authority when it opened up hundreds of renters’ boxes, conducted criminal searches of them all, and attempted to permanently keep everything in the boxes worth more than $5,000, all without charging any box renter with a crime,” the top-flight legal team explained.

The IJ had sued the government over the confiscation of the personally owned cash and other valuables.

”Today’s opinion draws a line in the sand, to ensure something like this never happens again,” said IJ Senior Attorney Rob Johnson. “If this had come out the other way, the government could have exported this raid as a model across the country. Now, the government is on notice its actions violated the Fourth Amendment.”
