She’s fearless! Andy Parks has her on his show a couple of times each week, and she really knows how to stick it to the DC tinhorn dictators.

I think I’d be suing the DC police department.
The guns have been ruined for resale value and the markings were not done in accordance with department policy.
This is exactly what I’d expect from DC finest thugs.

Lt. Augustine Kim would have to stand in line. The MPD is facing multiple suits all the time.
To: marktwain
While it is routine practice for cops to engrave their initials on seized firearms, they are supposed to do it in accordance with their agencys policy.
In this case, someone ignored the policy detailed in an internal MPD directive that says evidence should be marked in a manner that does not deface or alter its appearance.

It’s time to move the capitol to free American territory, Washington D.C. has been captured and occupied by the enemy.

I’d like to know why DC is engraving on the firearms in the first place. There is no reason to do so legally, forensically, or otherwise.
If I were that LT. I’d make them buy him one for one, new guns.

Does Congress not administer D.C.?
This cess pit of totalitarian control needs to be pulled up short.

Totalitarianism and union thugs is the result of electing democrats. What you see is what you get. Until individual cops and their supervisors are fired and /or arrested for intentional violation of the rules and/or laws they will continue with their gestapo ways!!

So what? Even if they get sued it will be the taxpayers that pick up the tab.

Actually he should sue the officer who did the marking. Would be interesting to see if the Department provided defense for him violating their policies.

That might be the wrong approach.
I purchased a firearm in 1982 for $399.
I could purchase another of the same model number (but different internal design) right now for about $700.
Because of design features that were removed from the model I own sometime between its purchase and now, my gun is worth more.
I have actually been offered $3000 for it by a gun dealer.
It’s too bad I lost it last summer in a canoe accident.

I agree, don’t sue the department, sue the offending officer to ensure the money comes out of his pockets and not the city’s.

“So what? Even if they get sued it will be the taxpayers that pick up the tab.”
You bring up a great point that we all just seem to accept and never challenge.
If the voting public would attend town hall meetings during the primary season and challenge the candidates to promise to work to change the protection given government employees some of this crap might change.
It was not the taxpayers who damaged the gun but some government thug. That thug should be on the hook first and the taxpayers second if at all.

Well, the condition of these weapons is pretty dismal to begin with. I'd be ashamed to call those mine...
That being said, if my weapons were returned with permanent brag-tags like that, there would be some hell to pay.

The engraving requirement is insane.
It is a taking without compensation.
It is a presumption of guilt.

They never expected anyone outside the PD to ever see the guns again so they didn’t care if their markings violated policy or not.

Nope. D.C. got home rule in 1973. Thus able to elect POSes like Marion Berry.
