SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - A man has filed suit against the San Rafael police department to retrieve his large porn collection. Dennis Saunders was convicted of secretly videotaping two women in the apartment complex where he worked, and Marin County police seized the XXX collection of 500 adult titles and 250 magazines during the investigation.
“There's absolutely no legal foundation for them withholding perfectly legal, adult-oriented material,” Saunders' attorney, Jon Rankin, told the Associated Press. Rankin said he estimates the cost of the collection at close to $10,000.
Saunders was arrested in 2002 and released a month ago.
The city is seeking direction from the judge regarding the confiscated porn.
“If the court orders us to give it back to him, we will give it back to him,” city lawyer Thomas Bertrand told the AP.
