Los Angeles police chief protests felons buying body armor

LOS ANGELES (AP) � Los Angeles police Chief Charlie Beck has sent an open
letter to California's attorney general urging him to appeal a recent court
ruling that overturned a ban on felons wearing or owning body armor.

In his letter, released Thursday, Beck told Attorney General Jerry Brown he
thought the decision gave violent criminals the upper hand.

California passed the ban in 1998 following a deadly shootout between
police and heavily armored bank robbers in the streets of North Hollywood.

The ensuing gunbattle left the two robbers dead and 10 police officers and
five other people injured.

The 2nd District Court of Appeals last week overturned the ban, saying it
was unconstitutional because the definition of body armor was too vague.

HAHAHA. Next they're gonna say felons have to eat their food with plastic
knives and forks.

Beam Me Up Scotty

Felons get fined for not wearing a seat belt but when they try to buy
extra safety gear you would make it illegal for them?
