It Depends Upon what the Meaning of the Word 'Voluntary' Is

Police did not specify what the weapons were, only that they were owned legally and "were voluntarily surrendered to police at the juvenile's residence by his parents," according to the statement. [More]

And there was no "or else" attached to their "request"?

This also stands out:

"These acts are not taken as jokes, and should never be used in a joking manner." Police said that any such remarks or posts "must be investigated as a threat, until proven otherwise, and those involved will be charged accordingly."

The "authorities" being the arbiters of acceptable speech limits and proclaiming citizens are guilty until proven innocent don't exactly ease my concerns about freedom in New Jersey.
