Police need to be held personally liable for destroying people's lawful property.
To: Red in Blue PA
Intimidation.
It’s what makes a police state work.

Too many leftist-led police departments are now acting, voluntarily, as Obama/Holder’s personal gestapo, and I don’t say that lightly.
By fudging laws about alleged mental problems, Obama and company have created a new, unvoted on seizure mechanism which leftist judges/courts are upholding.
Lawsuits are the only way to fight back.

The guns were probably “destroyed” by distributing them among several senior officer’s private gun safes.

Yes. Every police force has at least one cop that knows what’s valuable and what’s not.

Police need to be held personally liable for destroying people's lawful property. Perhaps if they had to pay double the market value of property they destroy there would be less of that.

Those who conspired should be up on charges IMO.

Roberts filed a federal lawsuit in May 2014, over the $15,500 worth of firearms. In the end he got the money, but not the guns. The police had had them destroyed. And just try to re-purchase those firearms in California. Best of luck.
It's a short-sighted policy to say the least. Police who act in a lawless manner forfeit the protection of the law for themselves, the goodwill of the community, and create an enemy where they used to have a law-abiding citizen. Were it me and an officer needed assistance in front of me, I'd be turning my back on him afterwards. The Chief may not care but the officer on the street damn sure better care.

Worth a full read, for sure.

The real purpose of NDAA.

There should have been criminal charges filed against the police who destroyed the property. The dollar amount sounds high enough to get the parties responsible slapped with a felony conviction. They can then suffer the same fate as the party they victimized as they lose their 2nd amendment rights and have their firearms collected.
The money paid to the victim should be taken from the criminals who destroyed the property and not from the taxpayers. A felony conviction and cash restitution to the victim.

Probably the most notorious gun confiscation case happened after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005 when the city’s then-mayor, Ray Nagin, ordered all legally owned firearms seized. The Second Amendment Foundation successfully sued on behalf of thousands of law abiding gun owners to stop, or reverse, the confiscations. But hundreds more gun owners without legal representation or ownership paperwork had to abandon their guns.

I am of the opinion that no firearms should be seized unless a JURY, after conviction of a violent crime, votes to remove the right.
To: MadMax, the Grinning Reaper
Lawsuits are the only way to fight back. No, they are not. Not any more.
