Gregory D Dean Jr., 31, of Hopewell Junction, was pulled over on Sunday evening in New Lebanon because the vehicle’s license-plate lamp was not working. Troopers found Dean with a legally registered pistol with a magazine that contained nine bullets, two more than the recently passed “SAFE Act” allows. Police charged Dean with unlawful possession of certain ammunition feeding devices, third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation and other vehicle infractions.
One day -- and it will be sooner rather than later -- the New York State Jackboots, er, ah, "Police" are going to completely squander whatever "legitimacy" they have in the eyes of the previously-law-abiding armed citizenry. When that happens, they're going to wish they hadn't gone down this tyrannical road.

Did you just use the word "legitimacy" in the same sentence as "New York State Police"? Bizarre.
People in Upstate NY already largely view the NYS Troopers as the enemy. Fortunately, it's been years since I have been pulled over by these armed tax collectors and hopefully it will be years longer before I am again, because odds are fair that when I am next stopped I could be subjected to this same kind of harassment. Except with my current distaste for these would-be tyrants I might decide to draw my line right then and there.

I hate to see citizens get in a jam over legislated insanity. This arrest could affect his gun rights to the point where he'll be disarmed when the civil war breaks out. That fact alone, should be a cautionary tale to bury something. They cannot confiscate that which they cannot see or find. You cannot effect justice if you are sitting in a FEMA Camp.
Another example in the vast collection of the difference between LEOs and Peace Officers.
The NYS Troopers (aptly named) are no Peace Officers.

I love how NY police broke their necks getting to the cameras after the bill was passed. Seems they didn't want to be blamed for the new law/s and their roles in enforcement. They wanted everybody to know that they were "just doing they're jobs, just following orders."
Somehow though they never seem to be able to enforce the constitution and bill of rights, do they? No, they just do what boss man wants done.
It's all about retirements and benefits and not sticking your neck out for anything that doesn't pay you a benefit. Of course without freedom, what do you actually have? Then again, they don't have to worry about that, as long as they do as they're told, do they? That is until TPTB need to sacrifice someone for their needs or careers.
Just keep you heads down and hope to survive, instead of doing what's both right and as it happens, required.
For brevity, simply use "NYStaPo".
New York is an enigma wrapped in a quandary. The largest geographical portion could be considered red if not for the Big Craphole. I believe it's too late for marches and protests to have any effect on the law. Nullification would work, but there's not enough constitutionally adherent New Yorkers sitting on juries. It is gaining ground. Several states have passed legislation nullifying Federal law from the Real ID Act to Obamacare. Secession is messy. Read Tom Woods, "Nullification" book.
You get the government you put up with.
How many NYS gun owners have been faithfully voting Democrat, for the last 30 years? ( and helping with the entrenched vote fraud? )
Fight, run, or die.
There's no shame in escaping NY or other Socialist Hell-holes.
But if you just stay there with your "grandfathered" property, and whine
as this just keeps getting worse...
I just can't work up much sympathy.
Welcome to the country of (ever-expanding) "prohibited persons".
It looks like if I wanted to "mess with" someone, all I would have to do is disable their brake lights &/or their license plate lights in order to have the NY State PoPo get them. I seem to recall someone making a phone call many years ago that: "some guy in a (vehicle description) tried to SHOOT ME" knowing full well that a gun was going to be in that car. That tactic works for having some Pills stashed in a car too.
