Yes, that is illegal. If they did not have a warrant to seize your property and damage it then they are in violation of your rights.
go see an attorney **** like this needs to stop and it is up to you to take a stand TAKE A STAND AND DON'T LET THESE CRETINS DAMAGE YOUR PROPERTY
Seems an odd thing for police to do with a suspect on the loose. Unless they thought you might shoot him. . .
It's illegal for them to do what they did, but you aren't going to get anything in court for them. So the question is, if you tell this story to the cop's boss, are they in trouble, or did they have a good enough reason to bend the rules so their boss won't take action against them?
strange story
real answer - No ! They can't legally do that.
but, I don't think you told us the entire story
