The defendant was out on parole, and had an arrest warrant issued for some other violation of his parole, and while sitting in a vehicle in the passenger seat, a weapon was at his feet. That's the entire context of this. A cop happened upon this vehicle and had "prior knowledge" that the defendant was in the car according to the police report [0]. I don't think he's even arguing that he had violated his parole, but that the cops are just flat out lying on how they found him. Sure, parole violations are bad, but this is just petty, run-of-the-mill arrests they are using stingrays on.
