Well, here’s a not-so-fun new twist in the search-and-seizure narrative. Car owners are being deprived of their vehicles just because cops think footage of a crime may have been captured by the car’s on-board cameras.

Yeah, this article title is idiotic. The police need a warrant to take your property if you aren't suspected in the crime. This is no different to having on-premise security camera recordings. The cops can't just come in and take your equipment, they need a warrant. If you give up that right, that's your choice, but it's more than likely this Canadian has no idea what happened and made up the details.

"The cops aren't allowed to do that because its IlLeGaL"
