I have only confiscated 4 guns as an LEO in 8years. I know of no officer who has confiscated a weapon for no reason. If they did they would be in so much trouble they would probably be pulled off the road or fired. The 4 i took 2 had CCWs but were DUI. One was drunk didnt have a CCW and was threatning to kill everyone in a parking lot one night. He had it in his waistband and i found it while patting him down. 4th was a man who was a passenger with a guy who was driving suspended and was a known meth user. The passenger stated he had a gun and instead of waiting for instructions he grabs it and before he could come up with iwe drew down on him. The driver like i said was a known drug user driving suspended so we didnt know his intentions.He was released as was the driver One week later the same passenger was arrested with several grams of meth his gun was taken at that time and he was arrested. All were given receipts. Two forms have to be filled out when this is done. Multiple copies of both forms and receipts are given to the Sheriff and investigators. Description of firearm along with serial numbers model,make,caliber,location found,ammo along with how many rounds taken are also documented. Owner or possesor's info including address ,DOB, all info on the car they were driving owner of that vehicle. The owner then signs off on the receipt. Also all copies of charges,arrest reports, citations are also attached to these reports and given to Sheriff and same copies to investigators. Then a property sheet is also filled out logged with time , who its handed over too,time they receive it They sign off and it's put into a property locker. Also your immediate supervisor signs off on everything to make sure everything is done correctly.All info regarding the confiscation is on the receipt. Officers name,the number to the SO. The number to investigations,time date,location of stop,etc.
