The state troopers saw a .40-caliber pistol on Dean’s passenger side when they approached his window. Although it was lawfully possessed by Dean, they discovered nine bullets within the magazine, putting him two bullets over the seven-bullet max set by the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act.


Anyone, ANYONE who thinks that LEOs are our friend should learn a lesson here ... THEY ARE NOT our friends

The cops could have just highlighted the new unconstitutional law but CHOSE to arrest. We now know where law enforcement is at with these unconstitutional laws --- they are out to arrest, imprison, confiscate, and void our natural rights.

When LEO's enforce such draconian and irrational laws, they truly become PIGS :mad:

I saw this same story on Breitbart. It's disgusting. Maybe some NY'ers should join the armed march on DC in July.

How is it that the state that is home to the statue of liberty, has no liberty. Of course keep in mind that the people of NY voted for these tyrants.

He may or may not agree with the law, but he wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't enforce it (he is a law ENFORCEMENT officer, after all).

So wrong ....

So if you were an officer in New York State, are you telling me you'd put your job in jeopardy and overlook anyone breaking the law, regardless of how stupid or unconstitutional it may be? And please don't say you'd look for another job if it ever came to that.

Job security is not an excuse for breaking the law!

You're not answering the question. Would you or would you not uphold the law, regardless of how unreasonable it is?

Unconstitutional laws are void, so no I would not enforce them. It was common before all the concealed carry privilege laws for law abiding citizens to carry concealed firearms, and no I did not arrest law abiding citizens who were in violation of a unconstitutional law.

Unless ordered by the court to make a arrest, it is highly unlikely that a UNION police officer would be fired for not making a arrest. Outside of that, if it came to it, I would lose my job before violating the constitution.

Sorry but my job is my and my family's well being. No way on Earth would I jeopardize it because I disagree with a company policy (or in this case, a law that I'm supposed to enforce).

Well considering you are not a NY police officer, I don't see how it could possibly jeopardize your job. But I guarantee if you are convicted of civil rights violations it will, no matter what the department says. I am puzzled if you are a In LEO why does it scare you a law in NY state? Why in God's name would you risk your job, liberty to enforce a NY unconstitutional law IN INDIANA?

I'm not an LEO anywhere. What I was saying was purely hypothetical. All I'm saying is, if I'm a police officer and the department passes a blatantly unconstitutional magazine capacity law, I would enforce the law. That's not to say I wouldn't work to try to have it repealed (I would). But the law is the law and the police are supposed to enforce it.
