Being detained for awhile is not being under arrest. Being stopped for a traffic violation is not being under arrest. Being given a ticket for that violation is not being under arrest.Do they seize all your belongings for routine traffic violations?

Do they seize all your belongings for routine traffic violations?Depends. I've seen cops seize automobiles and all property in them during "routine" drunk driving stops. Then again, when the officer asks the guy to STEP out of the car and he FALLS out, instead...mayhap it's a good idea to get him off the road :o)
And a firearms violation ain't exactly "routine."

Nope. That's why I said they were not 'legally' arrested. They were stopped, detained, and given a ticket for the misdemeanors.
The confiscation is a whole 'nother ball of wax.

Technically, I believe it is.
