It is about spending $500 to get your $400 pistol back.
The practice of “inventory search” (see post#20) seems OK and constitutional but it should not be unreasonably difficult for an arrestee who is let go or gets bail to get his stuff back (except if he’ charged, maybe not stuff that may be criminal evidence).
I’m not sure if that’s what “Civil Asset Forfeiture” is or not.
