Reverend Al Sharpton is coming out swinging against Plaxico Burress' 2-year prison sentence -- claiming Plax's punishment is "way out of proportion with the crime."
The Rev just sent us the following statement:
"I think it is an unusually harsh sentence for someone who was his own victim. He should be punished but his sentence is way out of proportion with the crime.
Celebrities should not be given special treatment but they should not be given exceptional punishments either."

...no, not for the gun charges.
This one just went down in Florida -- the plagued wide receiver just had those 4 tickets he racked up in one day dismissed ... all because the cop who nailed him was a little too careless with his paperwork.
Plaxico Burress' lawyer, Bradford Cohen, tells us the tickets cops gave him in Broward County on March 1 -- for speeding (60 in a 45), improper display of tags, improper lane change and improper window tinting -- were dismissed because they weren't properly filled out by the cop.
Whoops.
We're told the tickets did not include info on how Plax could pay or contest the fines -- which is a violation of state law.
As for the gun charges, Burress is due back in court in New York on June 15 -- but don't expect the same outcome.

Plaxico Burress just went into the 17th Precinct of the NYPD.
Dressed in a suit, Burress arrived in an SUV with his lawyer. He's expected to enter a not guilty plea to one charge of illegal possession of a weapon, a felony, once he's arraigned.
Story developing ...
