Thanks to Gunner over at No Quarters for the story on this. If this is an indication of what this country is quickly coming to, there's more to worry about than I thought. The Police in Des Moines apparently do not think very highly of "due process" anymore. Here is the story of a young man who just had his property seized for no apparent reason.
Des Moines police on March 28 confiscated a legally purchased AK-47 assault rifle from the home of Patrick Younk, 18. Police began investigating Younk after they received a complaint about threats made against Roosevelt High School students.
Sgt. Todd Dykstra said Younk did not take the weapon to school or threaten anyone. The gun was shown to Younk's friends at a tennis court in the 4600 block of Observatory Road on March 5. Younk was not arrested or charged with a crime, police said.
Dykstra said police confiscated the gun because "we just didn't want to take any chances."
Dykstra said the case had been turned over to the Polk County attorney's office for review because the gun was transported in Younk's car.
Sgt. Todd Dykstra should be fined, if not fired, for this breach of protocol and violation of the rights of an American Citizen. I think maybe he needs to have his drivers license revoked, and his car seized, because we just don't want to take the chance of him mowing down pedestrians.
