It looks like law enforcement would spice up the laws, my 18-year-old daughter was driving on 192 in West Melbourne, Florida, and was pulled by a Melbourne Village police officer for a “routine” traffic check and the officer searched his car and found two “common” folding pocket knives. closed it and stopped it for a hidden weapon, one knife was broken and left the blade about 2″ long and the other was a normal blade of 3″. My daughter worked for me in lawn irrigation and used knives as tools, cutting grass and cleaning heads and cutting polynières. The police department attempted to pursue the charges after the knives were told they wanted two years of probation and rehabilitation. It was the first and only time she had come into contact with the law. But Melbourne village police were still looking into the charges.
