IN: Indianapolis requires fingerprints to return firearms

[seamusTX]

The City of Indianapolis, Indiana, requires fingerprints from anyone who is requesting the return of a firearm that is in police custody. This includes stolen and recovered firearms.

Police came to Grady Scott's home in November 2006, looking for a drug dealer. Officers took a .38-caliber handgun and an SKS assault rifle

As it turned out, the wrong address was on the search warrant.

Scott, 69, sought to reclaim his guns but refused to be fingerprinted. He hired Indianapolis attorney Paul Ogden to represent him in the federal lawsuit....

The department has destroyed Scott's guns. If Scott wins his lawsuit, taxpayers likely will have to pay for replacements.

No further news on the progress of the lawsuit.

Indiana in general is a friendly state for the RKBA.

"...an SKS assault rifle..." Sigh. And so the demonization continues...

What kind of yahoos destroy the items in question with a lawsuit pending for their recovery?

I hope someone loses a job over that one.
