    Red-Flag related?


    Q

    Don't think at that time there was a ERPO or Red Flag law.

    From article.
    Her firearms were seized in 2013 after her husband was taken to a hospital on a mental health issue. A San Jose police officer at the time advised Rodriguez he had authority to seize all firearms in the residence, including those belonging solely to her, which were all locked in a California-approved safe. The guns were seized without a warrant, and over Rodriguez’s objection

    Wow, if he was cleared, then they should have returned the guns to him. Unfortunately, most of these types of seizures have no clear way to give them back to the owner. I am sure there are many more examples of seizures that the owners have given up trying to get back due to no real way to get them back from the LE organization.

    Her firearms were locked in a safe, she was accused of no wrong doing. Her firearms were taken without a warrant and have not been returned.

    This is a clear case of THEFT in my eyes.

    It certainly was, as inverse condemnation is prohibited under the US Constitutions 5th Amendment. But if they aren't going to use that mechanism for redress...Well, good luck with defending under the statute.

    You would think not but back when I was in private practice had a case where the MSP upon being ordered to return 34 pistols to my client maintained that they could only return them one per 30 days so as not to violate the law (this was pre-HQL). Assistant AG ultimately backed down when the court date for contempt was docketed.

    The police officer in this case should be fired and prosecuted. She should get her guns back and get PAID

    After seeing the activity in this case, looks like it will be the end of June when we see something 2A related out of the SCOTUS.

    A Pro-2A opinion would GVR all (or at least a good many) of the cases being held.

    I really just want to see SCOTUS slap Commiefornia so hard in the ruling that they keep their tails between their legs for the next century. $10 million + actual damages sounds low to me.

    That's troubling.
