U.S. Supreme Court Puts Limits on Police Power to ...
I'm not terribly concerned with this particular seizure from the drug dealer the case is about, but glad it sets a precedent for other cases where police may try and abuse power to pick on citizens.

Why not this case, in which police abused their power to pick on a citizen?

Perhaps because it's a citizen who was able to afford the expensive car by profiting off of something illegal?

He didn't. He afforded the expensive car
by his father dying
. (That is, he used the life insurance proceeds to buy the car.)

That is not correct. He purchased it with the proceeds of his father's life insurance policy.

Well, the court only got to set this ruling because the drug dealer in question decided to fight it all the way to the SCOTUS.
