Even though it was evident they had the wrong man, Carpenter was forced to hand over his firearms. There was no hearing or any kind of court proceeding.....
Carpenter’s firearms had to remain in police custody until the plaintiff can say, in court, that he’s not the man that she filed a complaint against. He’d then have to petition the court to get his firearms back...and he would have to bear the cost....

For those who believe the police force will not follow unconstitutional orders, here you have it. Height, weight, hair color, physical appearance, all did not match and they still took his firearms.
Well, due process and all............... For him to get his property back. WRONG!
The police will follow any order given to them, until they start paying a personal price for such things.
