It seemss that your news source does not contail all of the relevant information. Don't get me wrong, I feel the opression every day. HOWEVER, they were searching the homes of those who were commiting vandalism including but not limited to breaking business windows and defacing the state capital bulding.
More proper source here:

They were confiscating flagmaking materials because protesters were screwing bolts to the tops of their flags to aid in the destruction of others property.
I'm all for protests, but don't causing collateral damage.
Could it be more gov't control scheming, probably, I won rule that out. Could it be that protesters are going beyond their rights and causing destruction, yeah, that too.
My 2 cents.

Not entirely sure why, its still suspicious. I just thought that the omission of a bunch of key details in the name of sensationalist fear mongering/once-sided incitement of a public viewpoint was afoot. A two-minute fact check proved this. Just wanted to spread the word, and look at both sides of the story. Unfortunately, at the current length of this thread, it would be nice to see more people do the same.

As Obama said to Romney
Stop your whining-
You can criticize your gov as much as you want and its encouraged, just don't be organizing in masses wearing black and destroying property like Black Block anarchist hooligans.

This thread is being a little too vague and slightly misleading. The reason for the warrant and seizures was because there had been destruction of government property (probably by spray-painting since they're looking for paint), interstate travel with intention to riot, etc. Says so right at the beginning of the warrant.
They're looking for the paint, clothes (and other items) that were worn during the painting.
Basically, somebody got caught spray-painting government property and that's what this warrant appears to pertain to.
Someone decided to cherry-pick one aspect of the warrant and spread that around.
