See U.S. constitution, Amendment V . . . “nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

So if you rob a bank and the police arrest you and take your gun without compensating you then that's a violation of the 5th Amendment? Who knew?

Bad analogy at all levels.

For one thing, people who are accused of bank robbery and then never charged with any wrong-doing, should always have their personal property returned, or at least fairly compensated.
