The late Sam Francis defined this sort of thing as 'anarcho-tyranny.

The following quote from Wikipedia is an accurate description of what this man is being subjected to and what the mostly white middle class is being targeted with.

Samuel Francis argued that the problems of managerial state extend to issues of crime and justice. In 1992, he introduced the word “anarcho-tyranny” into the paleocon vocabulary. He once defined it this way: “we refuse to control real criminals (that's the anarchy) so we control the innocent (that's the tyranny).” Francis argued that this situation extends across the U.S. and Europe. While the government functions normally, violent crime remains a constant, creating a climate of fear (anarchy). He says that “laws that are supposed to protect ordinary citizens against ordinary criminals” routinely go unenforced, even though the state is “perfectly capable” of doing so. While this problem rages on, government elites concentrate their interests on law-abiding citizens. In fact, Middle America winds up on the receiving end of both anarchy and tyranny.

It’s hard to get past the rage over this brutally sadistic injustice, but I would point out that the legal mechanism to carry out this atrocity depends on presuming this young man was acting in a corporate capacity. FWIW.

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.”

― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged (1957)

This is fascism. Being practiced today, in the once-great (but no more) USA.

This appears to be a good case for jury nullification.

Sue the school district and police organizations, and every person individually. Sue them all and let God sort them out.

If I were his defense, I'd say Yes, it is a weapon. and then proceed to cite the Ohio state constitution:
§ 1.01 Inalienable Rights (1851)
All men are, by nature, free and independent, and have certain inalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and seeking and obtaining happiness and safety.

§ 1.04 Bearing arms; standing armies; military powers (1851)
The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be kept up; and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power.

Then I'd look into the laws against malicious prosecution and civil rights violations and go on the offensive. :D

“We charge [people] with everything that we feel they are guilty of, and in this case, he is guilty of a felony,”

If I were the defense attorney, this statement would be the key to getting the case dismissed.

And the prosecutor stripped of his job.

[for the feeble-minded: he violates the presumption of innocence]

"As a condition of his release from jail, he was given an ankle monitor and ordered to remove all weapons from his house. Most curiously of all, he was told to have no further contact with his grandfather, who is dying of cancer.

“The one judge I went in front of told me to remove any firearms from my parents’ house and put them at my grandpa’s house,” said Wiser. “The next judge freaked out about me even knowing what a gun is and put a no contact order against me and my grandparents. My grandfather is dying right now, and I am not allowed within 500 feet of him.”

What a travesty. Unthinkable. As Ayn Rand wrote (posted above).

This injustice cannot stand. What recourse does this responsible hard-working young man have?

“I won’t even be able to be a janitor. I’m 18 years old, and this is going to ruin my entire life,” he said.

Better to find out now what job his commissar's planned for him to do. No use wasting time pursuing a passion when you can be assigned to a job that the community needs done.

When I went to grade school is was practically a sin to be with out a pocket knife.

Now tell me again how we are going to save the Republic? The one I grew up in is no more.

When I was in H.S. every boy had pocket knife in his pants at school, that was in the mid 60s.
