Hard to believe that crap can happen in America!! What has our country become ?
Dekalb County is also one of the jurisdictions ignoring state law that requires it to auction off seized guns.
I'm sure that isn't the SOP for Dekalb County, not even legal in Ga. Imsure there was more to the story.
You have a link or a specific case you are referring too?
Dekalb County is also one of the jurisdictions ignoring state law that requires it to auction off seized guns.
The report contains video of Atlanta Police Chief George N. Turner opining that compliance with the law would lead to “catastrophic” consequences. According to the report, Atlanta police have some 10,000 confiscated guns that they are warehousing, rather than disposing of as the law requires. The chief very clearly articulates what the law requires of his department and goes on to state, “The City of Atlanta has not done that.”
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed is also depicted in the report acknowledging that he is aware of the law’s requirements and complaining that it’s “very difficult for me to lead on this ….”
Chief Turner reasons that they are not “defying” the legislature but are merely “in a holding pattern.”
..but they swore an Effing OATH to defend the constitution and that type of activity under the guise of "public safety" is unacceptable... if a cop enforces unjust laws or acts against the constitution he/she is a bad cop.. period
I agree !LEOs that violate the Constitutional rights of the US citizens are worthless lying traitors.
Yep, Channel 46 Ben Swann opened that can of worms, the video was deleted and internet scrubbed of that intentional violation of state law.

I wonder how many of those 10,000 confiscated firearms are in "safekeeping" at somebody's house.
