The Detroit News: Felon with loaded gun, stun gun & tactical vest arrested after traffic stop on Detroit's west side
Felon in possession of a firearm caught in a traffic stop after rolling through a stop sign -- in other words just another day in the D.
Remember this among many other examples for when the left states police shouldn't pull over motorists for traffic offenses.
You would think felons while knowingly and illegally in possession of a firearm would obey traffic laws, but not so much.
But, what gives this an extra dose of stupid criminal irony is what's on the "tactical vest" that was found in the car:
Nothing says Stupid Criminal like a felon riding dirty while having a Thin Blue Line American Flag morale patch on his tac vest.
Update May 12; To follow up on Eaton Rapids Joe's question as to whether our stupid criminal du jour might be facing multiple charges, and the answer is: Yes, yes he is.
The Detroit News: Felon found with gun, stun gun and tactical vest in Detroit traffic stop charged
Eugene Edward Knight, 43, of Sterling Heights, was arraigned Wednesday in 36th District Court in Detroit on several charges, including being a felon in possession of a firearm, two counts of having a firearm during a felony, being a felon in possession of ammunition, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a stun gun without a license, being a habitual offender-fourth degree and driving with a suspended license
Yep, lots of charges came out of the stop.
Amazingly, he was only given a paltry $1,800 bond by the Detroit 36th District Judge, and released. We have a revolving door justice system indeed. So much for the claim that they want to have armed felons taken off the street.

Under Michigan law does the firearm count for two felonies?
Felon in possession and
Non-CLP holder transporting unsecured in vehicle?
Certainly could be charged for that as well, among lots other things such as the stun gun with no CPL too.
