I agree. It may be department policy.

But do you agree that, if this account is accurate, a citizen was dispossessed of his property for no legitimate reason?

Someone has been reading specific statutes (dispossesed). lol

To answer your question; probably. Since there was nothing illegal about the bullets I can't see why they were not returned. That is why I suggested a visit to the Chief's office. ;)

I would be willing to make a bet that the officers in the suspected department have to buy their own bullets. I would also bet the officers use hollow points (therefore knowing that they are legal) I also would bet the ammo isn't in a property or evidence room.

I'd go back to the police station (or is the department big enought to have an IA office?) and file a formal complaint against the officer for theft. Nothing may come of it, but if enough of these accumulate in his jacket, it they may eventually come back and bite him.

Few things bother me more than crooked LEOs. (And the LEOs I know would agree.)
