I will say this one more time...the policy of the police department is to discard any combustible item found on the person arrested, unless germaine to the arrest or the law that was broken.

Discarding of it is one thing, giving the property to another that was supposed to be discarded or destroyed is another.

Except it wasn't "discarded"....it was kept as a trophy.

I know lots of LEO's and they would NEVER risk their career, or perhaps most importantly, the integrety of a case over a three dollar junk lighter with a pot leaf on it. They are all far, far more professional than that.

If a lighter with a pot leaf on it is what you seek, there are lots of places to get them. Don't risk a LEO's career and the potential of losing a case over a piece of cheap junk.
