Gun stolen by Police or Tow Company ???

[jlw]

But that cop couldn’t come back and charge him for something that happened a few days back that he should have charged him on that day….

LOL. That's not correct, not correct at all. It's not even in the same zip code as correct.

Never give concent to search, and don't talk to the police. Ever.

..and a 20 yo pot head would never lie....

Y'all just think back at the stories you told your parents....

Getting a secondhand story, and then coming to the ODT to get legal advice, ain't the best way to go. Every single time that I've dug into a story like this to get to the bottom of it, I've found that the facts don't match the story.

The person who owned the firearm needs to get a copy of the police report. If the firearm is not listed as placed into evidence on the report, then they need to speak to a supervisor and start the process for filing a complaint.

It would be best if they have the serial number with them when they do so. If they have a receipt showing the purchase (with serial number on the receipt), or a copy of the 4473, then that's even better. If they don't have a serial number, plus paperwork showing that they own that serial number, they will have a hard time proving a Glock is theirs.

If LE found the firearm, they would not leave it in the vehicle to be towed. It would go into evidence so that it isn't stolen from the vehicle. That's SOP in every agency that I have personal/professional knowledge of.

When I called the police on myself (a long time ago) and said come lock me up I've lost it. I told them about my firearm in my vehicle. They bagged it up and carried it with them. A month and a half later when I got out of the psych ward I went and picked it up at their evidence locker type thing. I never got my Benchmade auto opening knife back though. BUT, I was honestly just happy to get my firearm back and my mind. captdave77 has that firearm now. It is a great shooter.

You got the story second hand. Pulled over for 7mph over the limit? You need to be going 10 over the speed limit to get a citation per state law. Should have just been a warning. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes. Driving around with a bag containing a firearm, weed and weed vape is asking for misery. He needs to just write it off and start to think like a responsible adult.

Yes, in Georgia, you can receive a ticket for driving 7 mph over the speed limit, as all speeding violations are considered misdemeanors. The fines for such violations can vary based on the specific speed over the limit.

Maybe I'm different, but I can smell weed pretty efficiently from what car that's around me and I'm not even a cop.

Do people actually believe the cop doesn't smell it? The vehicle reeks of LOUD.

As for pistol, why would keep them together? This story sounds like a story

Good Luck

See 40-14-8. Locals have to give 10 MPH (with a few exceptions).

Recently I've been watching a lot of interrogation videos on YouTube especially about Macon/ middle GA murders. Two things I learned from those HOURS long videos. 1) When they're guilty they always leave out at least one very important detail. Kinda like your observation about facts not matching up. 2) And most importantly here is that once you're in that tiny little interview room with investigators...the more you talk the more you LOSE.
The only good responses in that situation are 1) Am I detained or free to go? 2) I need a lawyer before we go any further. Even if you're NOT guilty it's stupid to do it any other way.

That only applies to running radar or Lidar.

It's like some people never heard of mason jars to seal their weed in
