Confused in California

Edit: Actually lemme rephrase that last line, it's easy to be arrested, it's hard to be found guilty by a jury of your peers.

Actually this isn't true. In Theseus' case for example, the judge is anti-gun and is suppressing most of Theseus' defense arguments. While this would guarantee a win on appeal, Theseus can't afford an appeal.

So, count on corrupt DA's and judges. Be VERY careful out there people.

This is BS. If he could truly win this and is in the right, then I would think with 21 + thousand members here we could each pitch in a few bucks. How much could an appeal run ??? The cost of a few bullets each.

Have him (or someone) set up a trust for his legal fees. Whatever is not used can go towards the next persons defense.

Unfortunately, I'm new here and do not know all of the circumstances, but if this is something where he is in the right, doing something we are all here supporting I would think this is the least we could do.

Unfortunately, this is NOT BS. Welcome to America, land of money grabbing officials who will gladly accept money to corrupt due process and screw you right into prison for a few bucks. Anyway they can, from speed traps to ... well, don't get me started.

There are bad people out there. Look out for them, but only shoot to protect your life or the lives of your loved ones. Judges are another matter; they are vested with powers that can take your liberty at a whim. They need to policed more carefully. whoops! I inserted my comment prematurely ...

Welcome TriSum.  Calguns is accepting donations on Theseus' behalf.  Many have donated to this fund.  Many more need to.  I respectfully urge all those who believe in the open carry movement to funnel a few dollars into this fund.  http://www.calgunsfoundation.org/index.php/component/content/article/36-current-legal-cases/67-donate-to-theseus-open-carry-case

...Then there was bobbarker who was prosecuted for carrying in oceanside. Oceanside has a city law which says you can't carry guns around, except that is preempted by state law, so the attorney assigned to prosecute that case eventually gave up...

40804.  (a) In any prosecution under this code upon a charge
involving the speed of a vehicle, an officer or other person shall be
incompetent as a witness if the testimony is based upon or obtained
from or by the maintenance or use of a speed trap.

(a) A "speed trap" is either of the following:
(1) A particular section of a highway measured as to distance and
with boundaries marked, designated, or otherwise determined in order
that the speed of a vehicle may be calculated by securing the time it
takes the vehicle to travel the known distance.
(2) A particular section of a highway with a prima facie speed
limit that is provided by this code or by local ordinance under
subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section
22352, or established under Section 22354, 22357, 22358, or 22358.3,
if that prima facie speed limit is not justified by an engineering
and traffic survey conducted within five years prior to the date of
the alleged violation, and enforcement of the speed limit involves
the use of radar or any other electronic device that measures the
speed of moving objects.  This paragraph does not apply to a local
street, road, or school zone.
