Charles L. Cotton wrote:This sounds like a bogus arrest and the offer to drop the charges tends to prove it. I think his lawyer was doing nothing more than giving him the facts. If dropping the charge was contingent on giving up the guns, then his lawyer was correct in advising him that his legal fees for defending the criminal charge and for recovering his property would far exceed the value of the guns. Even if the charges were ultimately dropped without giving up the guns, the legal fees would still exceed the value of the guns. Any honest attorney would advise his client of the costs of litigation and let him/her decide if they want to pursue the matter.

Chas.
Why do police/sheriff departments put provisos like this on these deals? Why not simply return them? What do they have to gain?

Isn't this simply confiscation in another form?

Re: Not a Good LEO Encounter

Why does a department even say things like "they will keep the guns and drop it"? Are they in need of guns or something? Is it their way of getting guns off the street?
