The following is from the Antioch Police Dept.:
Last night (February 21), around 7:00 pm, Officer Milner conducted a traffic enforcement stop on a vehicle on L Street near Highway 4 for a vehicle code violation.
Both occupants of the vehicle were less than forthcoming about their identity and the passenger identified himself as one of his family members.
Officer Milner was able to confirm he was lying about his identity and discovered his real name was Elias Dempsey.
Dempsey is a 23-year-old male with a residence in Concord.
Once his identity was confirmed, Officer Milner found out he was on probation and had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. A search of the vehicle revealed the pictured firearm under the passenger seat, where he was sitting. Dempsey was arrested for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, his outstanding warrant, and a probation violation.

…. A convicted felon with a firearm, active warrant, AND on probation

So, looks like restrictive gun laws on law abiding Californians are working great. 🙁
.
The greatest threat to democracy are the liberals and so-called “progressives” whose political rhetoric and alarmism dupes the general public in thinking “assault weapons” are a major threat to public safety when CA gun laws cannot prevent felons from possessing firearms.

I couldn’t agree more! I tried telling the cop that pulled me over the same thing – speed limit didn’t stop me from speeding so why should I get a ticket? Why have rules and laws if EVERYONE isn’t going to follow them?!?!
Next head up my *** talking point, please….
…And hopefully you got the ticket you so richly deserved. The only head up my *** talking point here is the belief that more restrictive gun laws will stop anyone other than law-abiding gun owners.
Good job LE! …. now Becton …with all that going on isn’t he still in the pokey? not out on bail is he?
An how will CoCo county DA handle this ?
Yea, me neither.
