From what I have heard from some of the people that have been raided by the SS, 
they are generally afraid to take any legal action because of 3 reasons:
 
1.) They don't know EXACTLY what they are getting raided for so they don't know
    what the S.S. will dig up on them.  He/She does not want the S.S. to get
    any more big ideas on what THEY think is right/wrong.
 
2.) It costs too much in the end and they are better off keeping quiet so they
    don't get molested any more.  The people I have spoken with don't think
    they have any chance of getting the equipment back anyways.
 
3.) Since all the documents were sealed, they don't have a clue as to what they 
    can do anyways.
 

One of the best was when I spoke with Dr. Ripco and he noted that it would cost 
more to take legal action to get his stuff back than if he just went out and
purchased everything brand new.
 
I guess that's justice fer ya.
