That's actually why I'm a big OC law advocate even though I will never OC myself.
Are you answering for him because you know this is why or just speculating?
You would think the would simply:
1. upon seeing the pistol; ask guy to produce a permit.
Florida is not a "Must Inform" state. Also, printing and accidental/incidental/non-intentional showing is not against the law.
Cop was an asshat, but if the guy had stayed in his truck instead of hopping out nothing probably would have happened.
Bingo, they guy got out wanting to confront the officer and he got what he wanted.
It's funny that NOBODY talks about the attitude of the motorist??
yeah, truth is it was a bad stop all the way around. guy jumps out, leaves motor running, fumbles with wallet.
but the cop didnt have an issue til the gun showed.
Someone's gonna get reprimanded.
I wasn't aware that Florida had accidental exposure laws. Considering they set a precedent with the stand your ground laws. Wtf.
