Get your gun back from the police and it’s defaced
The vet who had his guns taken has had them returned. Only they’ve been engraved and written on, a violation of their own rules of evidence handling.

Yeah, whatever. Those are the initials of the officer who plans to claim the confiscated items as their own once they are forgotten.

My first thought was that they delay was because they needed to get the guns back from the only one who had appropriated them.

Yep.
In fact, I remember reading a comment about a Louisiana cop doing that in front of a motorist she had taken a firearm from.
It was common knowledge there that the cop who seizes a firearm in that state usually ends up with it in their collection.
Alan: Yep. And that cop who walked off with it would be the one who’s initials were on the firearm.

Cops really don’t want the respect or affection of the public any more, do they?

Bram: Not in DC, they don’t.

The part that confuses me is the excuse that they need to uniquely identify them.
Now, I can see that if the gun is an antique or was defaced by a criminal, but the vast majority of firearms already have a unique identifier – the serial number.
(If they need something easier to see for convenience, use a damned grease pencil.)

Or a hang tag or something. Do they carve “John Doe” on the forehead of a corpse in the morgue?

Mr Evilwrench: Or scratch their initials in the hood of an impounded Porsche?

Other than the fact that because of service-related injuries he needed to visit the Army’s Walter Reed Medical Center which is located within the boundaries of Washington, D.C., I’d say it’s his fault for leaving America and venturing into enemy territory. Even the People’s Republic of Maryland, a few miles north of WR’s main gate on Georgia Ave, would have been a better option.
Which raises the question: if we’re unable to drag the District of Corruption into Constitutional compliance, at what point do we start moving everything else out of its jurisdiction?

MR. Evilwrench: If the cop could sell an unclaimed corpse, yes.

The cop that put his initials on the gun, should be the one charged with theft and arrested.
