Defendant
All appeals by prosecutors are dismissed.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. The duties of transporting explosives that the defendant et al. interfered with are performed upon acceptance by the police for a report (e.g., omission of descriptions in light of maintenance and transport means) that does not meet all the requirements under the Control of Firearms, Swords, Explosives, etc. Act, and are not subject to protection
