A plea bargain in a case with multiple weapons offenses

In a case in which several people were charged with the offense of "possession and carrying of weapons without a license" based on photographs captured on their mobile devices, a plea bargain of only community service was reached!
In this case, in which only professional advice and guidance was provided without the need to write an opinion, the following points were raised before the defense attorney:
- It is not possible to determine that an object is a "weapon" solely based on pictures or videos, because it is not possible to determine whether the object meets the condition of "having the power to kill a person."

- The prosecutor's office, and not for the first time, used the services of someone who is not authorized to determine that an object is a weapon, while concealing his police rank! (According to Section 144 of the Penal Code, only a police officer of the rank of inspector or higher may issue a certificate stating that an object is a weapon)

- The identification of the various objects as weapons was carried out through an open notification, when the accepted procedure is to do this through an expert's opinion, when the object is examined in the MAZF weapons laboratory, or through an "officer's certificate regarding the object being a weapon", when an officer in the field wants to issue such a certificate.
