  • I need help! Cop stole my camera!?

    Here's the story:

    I bought a gopro camera NEW from best buy. 6 months later I let my friend borrow it and he gets pulled over. He gets a DUI and speeding tickets and goes to jail for past things. So I find out the cop took my camera from the car, which I don't think he was ever supposed to do. Anyway, the cop calls me and says i have your camera if you bring the receipt to the station it's yours. I bring the receipt and he says there's no serial number on it so I can't give it to you. I can't get a serial number of it from best buy either which is bull. AND he said mainly because it's coming up stolen out west.. Which I know is complete bs because he just wants it as evidence to screw my friends and cause I bought it new from best buy. I was very respectful about the whole thing and eventually left because it was going nowhere in my favor, and I wasn't gonna kick and scream about my rights yet.

    Now, I don't know wether to threaten him to court( if I do, what should I say and what rights did he break of mine?) or if I should try and contact a superior or something... He's a local corrupt officer.

    Also, I know it was my camera I held it in my hands and identified it. And when my friend got arrested he told the cop it was mine.. And his dad did.. And my parents went to the police station to try and see if they could get it and the cop didn't give it to them..

    I don't know if I'm leaving anything out but if you have any questions of my story just ask.

    The past stuff my friend got in trouble for wasn't murder or anything serious enough where they could take the camera.

    SOMEONE THAT KNOWS THE LAW PLEASE HELP!
