Arrested. 2K bail and car impounded?

Somehow I have a feeling more then just a pair of brass knuckles were found.
Betcha he came back from old Mexico with something he didnt go down there with.

Thinking is. I can understqand being arrested for the knuckles. Either the cop was a rookie or just felt like being a deuch that particular night.
ORR the kid was being a smartarse.

But 2K bail and car impounded seems exessive for the charge.

Sounds more like something that would come from a posession charge to me

That's pretty crazy stuff just for brass knuckles of all things. I never knew they were illegal. I mean it's not like he's carrying a machine gun or anything.

Assuming the kid didn't have any serious priors the cop should have just taken the brass knuckles and let the kid off with a warning. It's no wonder so many people don't like the cops these days, far too many of them are on the power trip.

He got stopped in San Marcos....nuff siad.

College town where all the cops think every kid is high or drunk. They all have a "I am Mr Bad bellybutton " attitude as well.

Sorry he got popped...hope it all works out for him.

Wow, good to know... I carry one most of the time...  I guess I'll have to ditch it next time I fly in the US.

Well it has Japan stamped on the blade, so I guess Japan. :D

I picked it up in 1991 after I graduated HS, with some other used dive equipment I bought at the time.  Went to the Bahamas to work on my uncles salvage boat for a summer.

It's really closer to 7 and a half but I'm a man so I round up..

ok, got to talk to Kyle, after he got some sleep...
He got stopped by a DPS trooper on 21 just inside San Marcus city limits, speed limited goes from 65 to 55.  He thinks he was doin 70 at the time.  (Its a bad spot there, somebody's always waiting, I told him before to watch that spot)  Anyway he went through the whole licence and registration thing, answered the troopers questions,  trooper says because he was being truthful and polite he wasnt going to give him a ticket, (and this part hes not sure he remembers correctly) trooper basically asks him if he can search the car... Kyle says sure cause he's got nothing to worry about...until the brass knuckles pop up... he says he forgot all about them... says he bought them at some store over a year ago because they looked cool...he didnt know they were illegal.. they werent laying out in the open, he's pretty sure they were buried under junk on the floor in the back...trooper takes him in and has the car towed and impounded...
I saw his citation, court record, what ever you call the form the court gives you.  It has one charge for having a prohibited weapon,  $2,000 bail, he had to pay a $200 deposit...court date is in January...

He was told he can get a copy of the video of the traffic stop,  I'd like to see that...

The husband of one of the girls where my wife works is a San Marcus PD officer, he told her if he had know about it before it got to the judge he might have been able to do something about but now it was too late.  He thinks the trooper should have just confiscated the thing and let him go...
