Hello MD Shooters, I'm new at this but here it is. Last year on October 16th I was arrested on a few charges equaling 4 felony's, but on 1-28-10 I was acquitted of all charges. It was 3 counts Assaults and Hand use. The gun was not discharged and yes I was on my property. Anyway the police removed "Took" the some of my firearms. After my acquittal I tried to get my firearms back so I went to the Evidences Storage Unit on Joppa Rd. and there I found out that the arresting officer did not sign off on some kind of release. When I got home I called the police station Precinct 9 White Marsh to speak to the Supervisor of the arresting office and was given to the cop that took my firearms in the first place, So I asked Her why she hadn't released them and she replied that she wasn't until she ran some kind of background Check on me and it was going to take 3 months on more. And then she would make a decision whether or not they would be destroyed. My Need is that someone can tell me what law or order she is acting under and what I can do to stop her.

In advance Thank You R. Martin


PS Sorry about the grammar

WOW!

You may need to lawyer up. At least get a consult.

GET A LAWYER!!!!!

Get a lawyer immediately. Do not try the bureaucratic bs yourself.

Lawyer up is the best advice.

If everything you say is true, get a lawyer. Let the lawyer contact them to tell them he/she is on the case. You might get your firearms back, you might not, but you should get compensation for their value if they get "accidentally destroyed"....and it has happened.

Lawyer. Get one.

Yup, Lawyer up... These things usually dont end well without one.

And remember that you were acquitted on four felonies. You were a decent bust involving firearms and getting them "off the streets". The acquittal doesn't make you very popular in some of their eyes (probably).

You have no friends there. Lawyer lol.

Thank you all for your comments and suggestion

Your best bet is get a lawyer. I had a stolen firearm recovered and played hell getting it released back to me. I even went through a background check to get it back.

I concur with the sentiment here. Please keep us posted on your case.

Please get a lawyer and do tell us how it works out. I'm so sorry to hear that man, we're pullin' for you.

Trying to get them released from the police usually turns out to be a head-exploding exercise in the run around. Don't waste your time- get a lawyer to file a writ of replevin against the head of the agency that seized them. I once had the state police tell me that since the 26 firearms they seized from my client were all regulated firearms they could only give him one back every 30 days..

So -- then what happened?

I know it's hard but how much is the value of the firearms you are trying to get back?
Lawyers cost alot of money....
If it's not much I'd try to just do it yourself and save the money you would have spent on a lawyer and buy new guns...

It sucks all around but at times it's best to cut your losses believe me I know....

Can't you just sue the Police department and recover the fees?

Just wondering.

We pointed out to the Assistant AG that while that may be the MSP's position he was the one who was going to have to make that argument in front of the judge and convinced him that it would not be a pleasant experience. It helped that it was in one of the more rural gun-friendly counties. Client got them all back in one big happy lot.
