The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Rodriguez case. It is common for the police in San Jose to seize firearms and then absolutely refuse to return them to the owner even if no charges are filed and the person involved is in fact the legal owner of the weapon. According to the Ninth Circuit there is no constitutional issue with this as long as the police action does not prevent the owner from purchasing a replacement firearm.
Several CA gun rights groups have signed on to this one, and SCOTUS has agreed to hear it.
EDITOR'S NOTE; This is absolutely outrageous! The government has no right to seize private property if it not related to a crime.
I'll bet that many of the guns seized by the San Jose PD end up in the hands of cops instead of being destroyed, especially those guns that were not used in a crime..
