Cops raid 50,000 home each year for the adrenaline rush. But the main reason is the gold, cash, cars, homes and jewelry they seize in each raid. Asset forfeiture reaches into the billions each year. The government uses the seized money and riches to buy their yachts and to continue paying the cops.
2015 civil asset forfeiture was $4.5 billion in annual forfeitures which now exceeds the $3.9 billion Americans lose in robberies each year. Cops have become the very thugs they were hired to protect people from. What do you do to thugs when they break into your house?
