Restraining order

[Shawnmoore81 623]

I've been breaking his balls about it. My buddy is a cop in the next town over. I thanked for the free ammo my buddy gave me. (he really didn't give me ammo)

[Shawnmoore81 623]

Messed up thing is he just bought $300 worth of 5.56mm on top of the .40 and .17hmr. Btw the local pd shoot .40 and 5.56 so I'm guessing where that went

Could be PD policy. No ammo is to be retained in the PD property room. It was probably destroyed. BTW, they weren't supposed to take ammunition. That was not required by law. Kiss it goodbye.

 

If it was seized, shouldn't there be a record of it? The government isn't allowed to take your property and not return it without compensation.

That is only in the U.S. of A.

That ammo has been shot up already..

[Shawnmoore81 623]

He said they told him they couldn't give him a receipt that night. He is going tomorrow to pick up an inventory list. My guess is the cops kept it and that ammo won't be on that sheet.

I used to yell at the patrol officer who seized the ammo during a DV. They are not supposed to take it according to the direction by the county prosecutor's office. Of course, there is always extenuating circumstances. This being said, we had a local policy that said that no ammunition was to be kept that was found or confiscated. It had to be destroyed. Strange, as all the PD's ammo was in the next room.

 

There will be a record of the seizure, but forget about getting it back.

This was a disturbing story.... I have a question about this for those that may know. Can the accused sue the accuser for bringing up a false RO and causing so much trouble? Is there any way to punish someone for bringing up such a clear bs RO?

[Tosser 61]

What town did this happen in? Where the PD seized the ammunition. You said Gloucester county.

[Socom 19]

long story short is the brother is going to jail for the illegal electric

[Shawnmoore81 623]

The brother lives in west Virginia and nobody out there will do anything. The township that took the guns and ammo was depford.

Taking a citizen's ammo (or any other property) and destroying it without compensation is likely a 5A/14A violation. I would suggest a lawyer. Federal statute allows for attorney's fees on recovery, so, the lawsuit wouldn't even cost the guy a penny.

Yeah but if it isn't documented on the inventory list. He sounds SOL.

[Shawnmoore81 623]

It's on the inventory sheet.
