Stopped and detained by Beech Groves Finest

[Rookie]

Also, I don't hold a grudge against any of you personally for the abuse you've given me, in retrospect at least some of it was well deserved. I understand that this is a public forum and whenever I open my mouth about something, particularly a political issue I'm at risk of being abused.

Come on guys don't you think your being a little harsh!!! I'm sure that our ‘officer’ to be by asking a convicted felon if he has needles, drugs, guns, stolen property, rape victims, and illegal immigrants in his car he'll tell you the truth and he can FEEL SO SAFE!!!


Or he can live a long life by taking the stance a DS told me after the traffic stop when I asked him how he handles traffic stops when he said “I don’t care if you’re wearing a habit, I consider everyone armed and dangerous at all times! Cause I’m going home tonight” God Bless America!

How have you been abused?

I was simply using the word that GodFearinGunTotin used. A more accurate description would be "harsh criticism."

 

[Rookie]

I have no doubt that some of you are. Some may not appreciate me hugging their throat however.

He's so lovable...

Where is the proof such lawsuit would prevail, in terms of the disarming? Last I knew, the ruling was officers can ask about weapons even if there are no "danger" signs. In this case, the driver answered and admitted to having a weapon. In addition, the rifle was in plain view, so this isn't a case of searching the vehicle for the weapon. No search is needed because the weapon is in plain view.

We have posters saying they listen to scanners and hear officers routinely take guns from traffic stops, and run the numbers of guns they take. If such activity was that common, and it was such an egregious violation of rights, lawyers would be advertising on TV about filing lawsuits given how many people have permits in this state.

Sad but true. It seems that, even though rights may be violated, for some reason this is one on which it seems inexplicably difficult to get protection.

That's the exact attitude I've come across when ever I've talked to LEO's about traffic stops!

That exact quote popped in my head.

Of course, with some cops and wannabes it's, "disarm everyone, violate their rights, treat everyone like a criminal, because, I'M GOING HOME TONIGHT!"

Difference in Mindsets between LEOs and some Servicemembers, I don't care if I come home...

Do yourself a favor and learn the definition of " assault weapon" before you put that badge on,ok?

We all have to learn the language of modern weaponry. Some of us still forget that a mag is not a clip. We are not "experts" until we complete the training.

Sounds like if you ever become an officer you will be the one posing the threat. Here on a gun forum you are threatening all of our Rights just so you can be the only one armed in that situation, how do we know we can trust you?

I think he is trying to make the point that the officer has a right to be concerned about his own safety. Can you blame him? Just read through some of the threads on INGO about how LEOs are viewed. The hatred spewed is limited only by the hated mods.

My post earlier was to suggest that if a LEO treats me with respect, acts professionally, I can accept him taking precautions. I know, it is a trade off. But I also know I need that officer to keep the fools and psychopaths in check. All of us on INGO are prepared to defend ourselves, but if the LEO will do it for us I think it wise to let him/her do so. LEO is far better trained than I.

Go to some of the LEO Forums and see how they chat about Non-LEOs...
The hatred is a two way street...

Don't be so sure.
