Wonder how the New Jersey cops will like being treated like the commoners?* (updated)

Bergen County Prosecutor Dennis Calo issued a memorandum to local police officials on Dec. 13 reminding everyone that the prohibition of the possession of large-capacity ammunition magazines also applied to off-duty law enforcement officers.

“The statute now provides that law enforcement officers are not permitted to possess large capacity ammunition magazines, i.e. magazines capable of holding more than ten (10) rounds of ammunition to be fed continuously into semi-automatic firearms, unless while on duty or traveling to or from an authorized place of duty,” the memo read.

“This statute applies to all law enforcement officers, including those subject to on-call status. Violation of this statute constitutes a fourth degree crime,” the memo continued.
A: This is a fine demonstration of just how stupid both most gun laws and the people pushing them are.

B: Fear not, the Only Ones are trying to take care of their own.  Of course.
“There is legislation pending to amend the statute to permit law enforcement officers possession of large capacity magazines. We will keep you informed if and when the statute is amended.”
Oh yeah, can't have the uniforms you want to enforce your edicts being treated like everyone else.

And the New Jersey Stasi are right on the case:
The NJ State Police refused to rule out house-to-house checks. Rather, they responded: “We do not discuss enforcement strategies.” 
Breitbart News also reached out to Gov. Phil Murphy’s (D) press secretary Daniel Bryan about enforcement of the ban. As of the publication of this article Bryan had not ruled out house-to-house enforcement of the ban either.
'House-to-house checks'.  Gee I wonder how they'll justify that violation of the Constitution they supposedly swore to uphold?


Update:
NJSP contacted Breitbart News on the night of December 11, offering a second statement which went further than the first. They said: “While we do not discuss our enforcement strategies, there are no plans to go door-to-door to enforce this current ban.”
So, did one of the geniuses figure that that that might be both illegal and dangerous, or did they just realize what Stasi the original statement revealed them to be?



*Assuming any have the balls or integrity to actually enforce this mess against other cops.

Some animals are more equal than others.

Any NJSP who go door-to-door to enforce this deserve to be shot down like the traitors they are. And the politicians that passed this should be next.

NJ Leo's will never have to worry about this. Professional courtesy will insure no arrests, no confiscations and no prosecutions.
