That would be great!

That could lead to being arrested for filing a false police report. Unless the officers took the ID for their own use, resale, etc, it would not be theft. In this situation they , wrongly in my opinion, believed the man had committed a crime. They seized his CHL as evidence they believed pertained to that crime. The worst thing that happened is that at a later point the DA, detectives, or whoever, decide that they don't believe there was a crime and release the ID because then it's no longer evidence. That isn't theft. Now if these officers said they were taking the CHL for some other reason or if they said it was because he couldn't be trusted or whatever then it could become a whole abuse of powers thing. If the cops know, and we are talking about being told by the DA or their boss or having tried and failed to be able to prosecute multiple times not "internet" knowing, that there is no possible case then there would also be an issue. We have absolutely no evidence presented that anything like that occurred so ......
