#1: I know the "point" I am exactly making ... your "interpretation" is wrong.
It is WRONG for two reasons, #1: you omit the words...
....
"or other device for opening "
... a spring to assist opening a knife is .... an "other device"!!!!
#2: As I have mentioned before ... at the time of the arrest if the officer or officers were "reasonably mistaken" ... their actions do not violate "THE LAW" .... AND the OFFICERS' arrest of Gray was NOT AN UNREASONABLE SEIZURE .....
But I would never expect you to be even remotely as intelligent and knowledgeable as Justice Roberts:
"The Fourth Amendment prohibits “unreasonable
searches and seizures.” Under this standard, a search or
seizure may be permissible even though the justification
for the action includes a reasonable factual mistake. An
officer might, for example, stop a motorist for traveling
alone in a high-occupancy vehicle lane, only to discover
upon approaching the car that two children are slumped
over asleep in the back seat. The driver has not violated
the law, but neither has the officer violated the Fourth
Amendment.
"But what if the police officer’s reasonable mistake is not
one of fact but of law? In this case, an officer stopped a
vehicle because one of its two brake lights was out, but a
court later determined that a single working brake light
was all the law required. The question presented is
whether such a mistake of law can nonetheless give rise to
the reasonable suspicion necessary to uphold the seizure
under the Fourth Amendment. We hold that it can."

HEIEN v. NORTH CAROLINA
CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF NORTH CAROLINA
No. 13–604. Decided December 15, 2014
I'm not arguing with an amateur ...who attempts to cherry pick words.
In Heien the officer thought one needed 2 LIGHTS not just one. So do you think the officer could be "wrong" about whether "other device" would include a "spring to assist" with opening the knife ....
.. does your "switch blade" open by itself?
