The 2-1 ruling Tuesday upheld a local judge's ruling allowing police to keep guns they confiscated from Robert Redington's Indianapolis home in August 2012. Police found Redington peering through a range finder at the bar Lauren Spierer visited before her June 2011 disappearance. He's not suspected in the disappearance.
Redington wasn't arrested, but authorities said a state law allows them to seize weapons from dangerous people.
Redington's lawyer argues the law is unconstitutional and a psychiatrist determined Redington wasn't dangerous.
Attorney Guy Relford says he will appeal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So looking through a RANGEFINDER, (not a scope), makes you a dangerous person?----(Lots of criminals around here?)-----What's your thoughts? ----
