I would say yes, but only if there is a hearing within 72 hours or less, and only if the person in question is given the option to surrender them to an FFL Dealer, instead of the Police, so they can be sold contingent on the outcome of the said hearing.
No. Not a decision to be made by a police officer. The police do lie you know, read today's buffalo news, page A2 "testilying".... Any kind of property forfeiture should be handled through the court. The police are people just like you and me, they can lie they can cheat they can steal, they can do everything a non-cop does. A cop can report anything he wants, piss them off enough, and the report can be fabricated. To give a broad body of people the authority to take someone's property without due process is wrong. When a person threatens to suicide, they get hauled away and evaluated. Again NO.
