MA dumbass arrested for possessing illegal handguns following a traffic stop on the Thruway.

[GOYABEAN]

German Flatts, NY – On October 27, 2019 at approximately 2:05 a.m., State Police stopped a vehicle on I-90 in the town of German Flatts, for a vehicle and traffic violation. Upon interviewing the driver, probable cause to search the vehicle was established. The search led to the discovery of 5 semiautomatic pistols that were seized. The driver, Darius W. Banks, 21, of Randolph, MA, did not immediately produce his license, and instead gave Troopers a false name in an attempt to hide that his license was suspended.

......if this isn't exaggerated by the state boys then its true.
Ya can't fix stupid. That was just beyond stupid.

 

[GOPerfect]

Don't these people know anything? Only break one law at a time!

 

[Jmac00]

here's an idea, if your going to do something illegal involving a vehicle, OBEY THE TRAFFIC LAWS? don't speed, don't drink and drive, and make sure every single light on your vehicle works, fucking dumbass

 

[Marine Cpl]

He should have only gotten a ticket for driving with a suspended license.

 

[Airborneguy]

Gun trafficker for sure.

 

[GOPerfect]

That should make no difference. Should have only received one ticket. At least, that is what I heard here.

Correct. Because selling guns should be the same as selling power tools.

yep .. i was just watching live pd Videos .. guy got a bunch of traffic tickets .. vehicle towed away .. legal PP .. LEO's unloaded all the guns and put in the trunk of his ride and off home he went ..

he could have traveling with legal guns from MA to another legal state via your fked in NY ..

I do recall some police experts on here but they seem to have stopped posting.

 

[fnfalguy]

At least he kept the trigger locks. But on a more serious note and keeping in theme with a gun forum. Other than looking officer size, can anyone make out what the 1911 type thing is?

 

[BuffNiag]

At what point did the guns become illegal? Aren’t you allowed to transport them if unloaded and secure, even if you don’t have NY permit?

Because this is a gun trafficker and as always, that article definitely does not have all of the info that the troopers involved have. Evasiveness regarding identification is a 100% tell for warrants, Icards, suspensions, etc. I''d bet $100 that he is either a prohibited person transporting straw-purchased guns, or the actual straw purchaser bringing them back to sell.

 

[nortatoga]

The FedEx package makes me wonder, did these fall off the back of the truck?

 

[GOPerfect]

Kind of funny how so many people in America are so willing to jump to conclusions with next to zero facts.

 

[togmaster]

What I really want to know is what is in the Aldi bag.

 

[MilesTeg]

So that's where my delivery went!

Glad your safe space is working for you.

Just the fact that he lied about his name is a crime too, right?

 

[Bustedknees]

The most serious charge was 4 counts of buying a Taurus pistol

Yes. Obstruction.

There is no such thing as a gun trafficking crime, there shouldn’t be “gun crimes” in the first place for mere possession. The only crimes that should ever exist gun wise is using one during the commission of a crime (murder, robbery, assault, menacing, etc).

Floggable offense in my book.

I actually own two and bought the wife one also.. but Im only happy with the PT 140 millennium. :0

Logic. Just like using a screwdriver for a robbery. But unfortunately most law enforcement see it differently.

Soon pretty much no one will be going to jail in NY anyway so don’t fret too much.

 

[Rocpo]

Actually driving with a suspended license is an unclassified misdeameanor- VTL 511-1A
So a custodial arrest, impound and inventory are appropriate.

Yes. Obstruction.

Actually, its PL 190.23 False personation boss

My point is that gun charges shouldn’t exist but I’m sure you knew that.

See what happens when you don’t deal with street crime anymore? Lol

My perps are all 100% ID’d now. It’s so easy. Well finding them sometimes isn’t, but we always know who they are at least.

It's only a matter of time until they have facial recognition databases complete enough to render conventional ID obsolete.

God help us all at that point. Your job will certainly be easier, but that's not necessarily a good thing.
