There is not enough information to make any calls. Preface that, though, with the fact that NJ is unjust. The laws broken don't fit the punishment. Was there room behind the seat for everything ? Was the observed case secured? Were the others secured? Is there in fact a place to shoot in Dingman's Ferry? Could he have driven in PA with said case on front seat? Perhaps he does all the time. How did he happen to leave that stuff in his car overnight? Pretty Obbvious he was singled out for PA plates. On the other side you would have to be all kinds of stupid to do what he did. Were the guns owned by him with a clear path? I would tend to agree with some on here that other than the fact that this probable poor schmuck most likely didn't need to be stopped and harassed the seemingly complete disreguard for the Reupublik's largely unconstitutional laws would have been a red flag. Any officer would need to act on this one and let it be sorted out later. However, since NJ is so unjust it should give all LEOs pause to consider this domino of events. Was he transporting guns for new ownership? Did he just pick them up, or just steal them? Was his job that of a bankrobber in NJ? Did he have any misdemeanors or other offenses, and what was his mental state? Was he bringing his daughter's contraband out of the Republik so that she wouldn't be in trouble? So, he had brought them in and was on his way out? The court (if it had any) should be able to use common sense and discretion. Keyword SHOULD, but then this state is just too unjust for that and has mandatory sentensing to put idiots behind bars instead of violent criminals. The fact that this guy was.released.pending trial would suggest he is just a dumb ass possibly with Alzheimers and truthfully not otherwise a threat and that his story checked out and that he was not considered dangerous, but rather caught up in this drag net and brilliant police work against seemingly nonviolent citizens. He should NOT be excused for his actions BUT justice and common sense SHOULD prevail and the punishment SHOULD fit the crime. However in NJ that isn't going to happen. Perhaps he was.a.disgruntled employee? Maybe he had tools, or the stuff just didn't fit behind his seat. Was he coming from his OWN business and consequently was he allowed to transport under an exemption. We don't know details. Maybe he was threatened. Maybe he had them with him because they weren't secure at his PA residence and on his person was the safest place. The BS charges on Mag limits and configuration are unjust on face value, just a way to trap citizens. Real criminals wouldn't have even been charged, and or plea-bargained down. Lots of details are left out, regardless, it is most certain he won't be treated justly in this Democrat-Run State.
