In order to prosecute for CPC 653K, the state has the burden to prove you are guilty of either:

  • Any individual who carries a switch blade in a car, whether in the passenger or driver area
  • Any individual who openly carries a switch blade on themselves

The following could be considered a violation of PC 653K:

Sami is an adult male who lives at home with his mom, two younger sisters, and older brother. Sami’s older brother moves out and Sami finds an old switch blade in his brother’s room. Sami sells the switchblade to a friend of his, but during the transaction a police officer walks up and busts them. Sami is then charged with violating PC 653 K.
