This is the part of the story that has me wondering if we didn’t just read another edition of the Minority Report. If indeed he was not committing a crime by simple possession of the firearm, then ever other charge is fruit of the poisonous tree. The PD arrested him based on possession and then found some sort of drugs and 100rds during an illegal search.Keith B wrote:Possession of a rifle by a 17 year old is not a crime. Also, allowing access is restricted to younger than 17, so no crime committed there either.
Don’t get me wrong, I also think that whatever he had planned we are probably better off that they prevented him from doing it. However if the whole story is what is in that article a decent defense atty should be able to get him off with no charges or court costs.
