Just like the War on (some) Drugs, the institutions that claim to have the public's service in mind are interested in expanding themselves and making money.

The Bronx is not as bad for knife arrest as Manhattan, but still the NYC anti knife feeling is there......was it clipped so they could see it? If he had stayed in the car it would most likely been a summons that he had 24 hours to fix the light without a fine. Getting out gave them a right to perform a weapons check on him and I will assume he may have given them an attitiude....

like I said, he wasn't very forthcoming about the details, but being a middle child, thats probably exactly what he did, and he got two nights in jail for it. He usually carries strong side, front pocket clipped, the knife is tip-up, deep pocket wear, so they probably saw it before he even got out.

My problem is that they are classifying a knife that by definition is not a gravity knife as a gravity knife, wtf? I'm gonna have to go back to carrying my schrade LB7 again in NYC.
