What can I do when the police steal my belongings?
I was sitting in my car parked on the side of the road. The cops rolled up on me because I looked suspicious. Not wanting to cause a problem and possibly get my parents involved, (I'm 18 and don't want my parents to know about this) I let them search me and my car. I told them I had nothing, and they found nothing. The cops let me go on my way. I returned home after, only to realize that they had stolen my pack of cigarettes. Brand new pack too. And the cop knew I was 18 so it wasn't because she thought I wasn't of age. So the cop broke the law right? It wasn't evidence. It wasn't a weapon. They basically robbed me. And I know it's just a pack of cigs but now I can't trust the police with anything anymore.
