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...
