Which prompts a question to the lawyer folk here at FBG. If Joe Nobody is arrested today under the same circumstances and they decide to press charges, is there any recourse for the obvious lack of consistency?He cited lack of evidence. Did the cops smoke the pot then pitch the stolen gun in the river?

Im sure they happened upon it and kept it for their protection.If this was just a MJ charge I think that would all be kosher. But add in the (stolen) gun and give me a ####### break.
I would probably be fat if I lived in LA. Lots of good eating there.I was about to post something along the lines of "if he consistently applies that philosophy to young people who don't actually harm anyone, I'm sort of okay with this"

That's what it ended up being. Having possession of a firearm is not illegal in LA, and they'd have to prove he bought a stolen gun knowing it was stolen...hence the insufficient evidence. That charge was not going to stick.If this was just a MJ charge I think that would all be kosher. But add in the (stolen) gun and give me a ####### break.
Oh ok then.That's what it ended up being. Having possession of a firearm is not illegal in LA, and they'd have to prove he bought a stolen gun knowing it was stolen...hence the insufficient evidence. That charge was not going to stick.

Having a firearm while in possession of narcotics is a felony whether the gun was stolen or not. The evidence was in their laps.
