Theft is more than intention. It’s taking what isn’t yours without permission. If I go to your house and steal your tv with the intention of giving it back to you at a later time, I think you’d say I stole your tv.
The police might have a warrant and legally be able to take your car which has the footage on it, one could argue it’s legalized theft.
I think the point here is that, while the police might legally be able to do it, it might be pushing the boundary just a little and maybe the police shouldn’t legally be able to take your car just because it was in the area of a crime.
Isn’t it tho?
