Do they return the device afterwards like “oh well, here ya go then” durp durp. Or do they keep it “for evidence” out of spite?

To get back the seized property, owners must prove it was not involved in criminal activity.

Seized property under rico works the exact opposite, you have to prove your property innocent.
