This is a perfect example.

Exactly. I know a lot of people feel like they "have nothing to hide" but why would you want the police tearing your house apart if they have no legal reason to do so?

And if they show up with a search warrant for your place be sure to read it fully before allowing entry (if given the choice).

On another note I'd like to know why a box of ammo and a relic prompted the use of 30 SWAT members?

(Replying specifically to your question that I highlighted in red.) These types of things are done PURPOSELY for the fear and intimidation of the general populace. Meanwhile, gang-bangers and other thugs run around the city ILLEGALLY armed, but those charges, from what I understand, are rarely used against said criminal element. Gun control laws have NOTHING to do with reining in crime, and everything to do with keeping the citizenry in line.
