Am I mistaken in my belief that this ban included law enforcement personnel ?
If so are they running rogue also ?

Yup.

N.J.S. 2C:39-9 h. Transportation Offense.
Large capacity ammunition magazines. Any person who manufactures, causes to be manufactured, transports, ships, sells or disposes of a large capacity ammunition magazine which is intended to be used for any purpose other than for authorized military or law enforcement purposes by duly authorized military or law enforcement personnel is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree. (Emphasis added) (Author Note: This is the Florio Mag Ban legacy prohibition and exception for N.J.S. 39-9h.)

N.J.S. 2C:39-3 j. Possession Offense.
Any person who knowingly has in his possession a large capacity ammunition magazine is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree unless the person has registered an assault firearm pursuant to section 11 of P.L.1990, c.32 (C.2C:58-12) and the magazine is maintained and used in connection with participation in competitive shooting matches sanctioned by the Director of Civilian Marksmanship of the United States Department of the Army. (Author Note: This is the unchanged Florio Mag Ban legacy.)

SNIP

The N.J.S. 2C:39-9 h. Florio Mag Ban still requires that law enforcement who transport Murphy Mags be “duly authorized” AND have them for “duly authorized” law enforcement purposes. The Murphy Mag Ban “fix” fails to fix this.

Additionally, off-duty cops possessing Murphy Mags must be “duly authorized” AND have Murphy Mags only for “duly authorized” law enforcement purposes to lawfully transport them. Without such authorization, cops cannot lawfully transport their Murphy Mags without being in violation of N.J.S. 2C:39-9 h.

P.S. The N.J.S. 2C:39-9 h. legacy Florio Mag Ban also applies to “retired” cops as they, too, were only exempted for N.J.S. 2C:39-3j. and not for N.J.S. 2C:39-9h. under the Murphy Mag Ban.
