Why are you all clapping about this travesty like trained seals? According to the article, the officer conducted a traffic stop and then violated the Second Amendment to arrest this man for his Constitutionally recognized right to bear:
-Arms -Armor -Standard capacity mags
If there was a real crime here like homicide and not just gun-grabbing, they'd have charged him with that.
Here's the "rules" for transporting weapons in Illinois (thegunzone.com).
The cop had full legal justification to verify compliance with Illinois gun restrictions if he saw anything related to weapons in the stop. Very restrictive there.
The Constitution trumps that bootlicker.
While you're sitting in state prison, you can fight their gun laws all the way to SCOTUS if necessary
Tell that to the cop.
