Wis. appeals court divides over removal of guns
Legal News Center
A divided Wisconsin appeals court says police did nothing wrong when they found two illegal shotguns after removing other weapons legally in possession of a man taken into protective custody.
Jason Kucik appealed his convictions for possessing the illegal shotguns, arguing St. Francis police had no legal basis for seizing the guns he legally owned.
The 1st District Court of Appeals on Tuesday ruled 2-1 against Kucik, saying police could take the legal guns because they were in plain view and police had probable cause to believe they could be evidence in a crime.
Police went to his apartment after Kucik's cousin said he had been attacked by him earlier in the day.
