"If a police officer cannot easily determine if an item is illegal or not, how can a citizen be able to do so?"
Well, in the PRK, that's the citizens' problem... 'citizen'.

The law is unconstitutional... if a trained police officer can’t know whether its illegal to possess a given type of weapon, enforcement is likely to be arbitrary and capricious. It cannot be enforced fairly since the average citizen has no way to know in advance if he is in compliance with the law. The law’s constitutional defect cannot be cured. It must be struck down.
Easy. They are legal. Now bring Kalifornistanian law into agreement with the Constitution and all will be well. For those who insist on perpetuating their current legal fiction, try them and execute them for violation of USC Title 18 Sections 241 and 242.
The heck with “vague and ambiguous,” what about being against the Miller precedent? Does the firearm have “some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia”? Is it “any part of the ordinary military equipment or that its use could contribute to the common defense”? If so, the law runs contrary to the logic and rationale of the Miller case, which stands on the 2nd amendment.
Of course the CaliCommie Legislature will probably “fix” the problem by outlawing all semi-autos.
Nonsense!
The laws, 2 involved, are clear. Certain receivers are banned. When "off list" receivers are part of a complete weapon, that weapon is still illegal if it has a defined combination of evil features.
Given a list of banned weapons and the evil features formula, 6th graders could make an accurate determination within a couple of minutes.
There are exception to the rule. I've witnessed more than one gun enthusiast question the legality of an unmodiified magazine release, without first determining if the weapon was center fire.
