The only way that is going to stop is to find a lawyer that will work on a percentage, sue the crap out of them for the guns back, the cost of the guns, your time, your legal fees, and anydamnthing else you can dream up. Then that needs to be done over and over and hit the *******s where it hurts.
They have practically unlimited budgets, so they can just stand back and say "screw you, what are you going to do about it?" and if you don't have deep pockets or a lawyer friend, you are out of luck. You really can't fight city hall unless you have a bunch in the bank and are willing to risk it over a principle.
The State has to get PC to search, and then C&C evidence to retain. For 180 days.
Yet more proof that our Government is corrupt at every level. We need to get back to the vision our Founding Fathers had for our Country.
Some years ago here in Mishawaka an older gentleman fatally shot a home intruder with a 38 Special (I think). Months after his being cleared of any pending charges he still hadn't got his pistol returned to him. He finally saw the Mishawaka chief out somewhere and questioned him about it. The pistol was returned the following week.
It's all who you know and how gun friendly the local government is.
Lawsuits aren't a significant deterrent, it's not like this is funded out of their retirement fund. Ultimately, it affects us, the taxpayer.
What in heavens name is a PC search, and then what is C&C evidence to retain, something like cash & carry?

The above stands for 'Have no idea what you mean'.
This exactly! I'll preface with what I'm about to suggest with the with this; I know a large percentage of law enforcement people are trying to do their jobs the best they can while causing as little discomfort as possible to those of us that do our daily thing without crossing any lines but I'm a BIG advocate of LEO having to carry malpractice insurance as so many other professionals now carry and reset the system so the individual is responsible for his actions on BOTH sides of the thin blue line. When corrupt officials are sucking off the public teat and know it doesn't cost them "Personally" anything why should they care.
Make it hurt them personally and a LOT of this crap will stop.

That will take a total house cleaning from the big boy/girl chairs to the janitors.
Yes, I know. And most likely we will never see that.
