About the only place that would happen in the US (a bag being destroyed for being forgotten) is an airport.

There may be a handful of other places with ‘unattended baggage’ policies, but there is definitely nothing illegal about dropping your bag.

Don't forget metros/subways. You see a lot of luggage pass through without inspection (unlike airports or stadiums) but the potential for a terrorist attack is real and they've been used for exactly this. So transit police in US respond very quickly to unattended packages or luggage and treat them as dangerous by default. (https://wjla.com/news/crime/suspicious-packages-in-d-c-unpac...)
