Your argument supposes that police are corrupt.
I am not assuming the police are corrupt, I am assuming that they are fallable. As any society should.

I realize there are situations where the police need to be able to confiscate property on the spot, I just don't think this is one of them. There needs to be a good reason for it (and when you're confiscating a safety device, even more so). It is also not my whole argument, merely a contributory factor to why I dislike this law.
