San Bernardino Cops Bust Man Who 3D Printed Guns From Garage

San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department tweeted a short video Wednesday of deputies serving a "warrant" related to a previous traffic stop. Deputies uncovered a 3D-printer used to make illegal firearms, otherwise known as "ghost guns."

"Deputy Ryan Rappisi and our patrol team served a search warrant today related to a previous traffic stop. The usual dope and illegal firearms were recovered, along with a 3D printer capable of producing plastic gun frames for ghost guns. Awesome job!!" tweeted Captain Matt Griffith.

The video shows what appears to be an inexpensive 3D printer, likely the Ender-3 V2 3D Printer. Deputies removed the printer, and multiple printed lowers for pistols from the suspect's garage.

Griffith provided no further information on the 3D-printed gun operation. There was no word on if the guns were used by the suspect or supplied to criminal gangs. Without a serial number, police and federal agencies have no way of tracing ownership.

Typical boomer reply. We are our own worst enemy.

What kind of plastic is used? Does it self destruct after a single use?

Like how does it go from a traffic stop...to sometime latter...a search warrant.

I have no idea what happened in this case, but here's a possible scenario:

1) Guy gets pulled over and issued traffic ticket
2) Doesn't show up in court
3) This pisses off judge, who issues a bench warrant for his arrest
4) Cops serve warrant
5) Search incident to arrest turns up other items of interest

I wonder if they found one of his 3-D printed guns on the traffic stop then they got a warrant to find the printer he was using


Dictated but not read, voice typing plus bad eyes equals typos

More like a ghost gun pattern/s are found during the traffic stop, plastic billets, trigger components, etc.

A lot up in the air on this one!

It was probably the overwhelming smell of weed that precipitated...

Also maybe they don't want you to know the series of events so people will keep slippin'.

You're not supposed to be able to use evidence found in that matter. Otherwise cops can make up whatever BS they want in order to get a warrant and use anything they find as evidence.

More likely during the traffic stop, the cop said "Mind if I look in your trunk?" and the guy let him.

You just put a piece of paper over it and go over each letter, O-W-N-E...
