But more stunning than their potential for rearranging a person’s bone structure is the way in which brass knuckles have traveled through time, maintaining their cultural relevance from one era to the next. Their legal status becomes, if not less hypocritical, at least slightly more understandable once you realize the sheer damage they can inflict (more on that later). We can have guns, but brass knuckles get you up to three years inside?
KNUCKLE DUSTER MONEYCLIP HOW TO
Per the same Hill and Associates website, the decision on how to charge someone in these circumstances considers a variety of factors including, “the client’s age, how the discovery of brass knuckles was made, if anyone was injured, how the suspect cooperated with police, the suspect’s prior criminal history (especially as to gang affiliation and prior prison sentences) and any other factors relevant to how brass knuckles are prosecuted in the particular courthouse.”īut Mensa and prosecutions aside, at a time when gun violence has reached such levels that parents are considering homeschooling their kids, the illegality of brass knuckles seems not just quaint, but somewhat absurd. Luckily for Mensa, he wasn’t charged with a felony possession of brass knuckles, instead getting charged with simple possession of brass knuckles, which does still carry a sentence of up to a year in county jail. “It can also be charged as a misdemeanor with a maximum punishment of one year in county jail and up to a $1,000 fine, plus penalties and assessments (total of approximately $4,250).”
“Section 21810 is a ‘wobbler,’ meaning the offense can be charged as a felony with a maximum sentence of three years and a fine of up to $10,000 plus penalties and assessments that can total $42,500,” per Greg Hill and Associates.
KNUCKLE DUSTER MONEYCLIP CODE
In California, not only is it illegal to sell or manufacture brass knuckles, it’s also illegal to own them under Penal Code § 21810. “We’re told the officer found the brass knuckles in Vic’s pants pocket.” “ An officer pulled over Vic, and at some point during the stop, patted him down,” reports TMZ. In January, rapper Vic Mensa was arrested in Glendale, California for felony possession of brass knuckles.
