Just get out of the fuckin' car, let them hold your pistol for a bit (you'll get it back - and you know it), take the fuckin' ticket, and be on your merry way. You're not going to win this one on the side of the road, and honestly? You're not "winning" anything even if they agree with you (and they won't). There's no need to ramp the dickhead level up to 11, when the officer is being over the top polite with you. Jesus H. Christ, I'm beginning to see why some people go through life not understanding why so much drama follows them around. Funny, many LE on this site disagree with you. Well guess what? I wouldn't have asked the guy to get out of his vehicle, or disarm him. But that's not the point. The only reason they didn't (legally) go full on felony stop on that guy and his passenger when he decided to be a YouTube star, was because they were extremely polite and level headed (and good on 'em) - quite unlike the driver being a dick and needlessly escalating a situation that didn't warrant it. Ask. Tell. Make. If it went to step 3, the video would have only served to exonerate the officers. Everybody wants to be a lawyer, until it's time to learn some lawyer-ass shit. |

An officer could also ASK. Or is being a dick and always ordering a way to make them feel superior? Yeah, not breaking the law or anything close, they can 'disarm' you because, fuck rights. There seems to be a minor disagreement but, most of the Fla people replying say that Fla has no rule to inform. If so, then the cop was being a dick, an uninformed one at that. Sure, the other guy was probably a dick too but he was only stopped for speeding, not for being a serial killer. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

If shit goes down, it will be A)NOT when you expect it, and B)You will do what have trained yourself to do. In other words, there is a good chance you will attempt to draw without activating the hood, because you have inculcated yourself that the hood will be down when something goes down. Except this time, it won't be. Not to mention, someone with some training of their own could theoretically get inside your OODA loop and disarm you....and with that hood down it's a LOT easier. |

I don't care much for it either, frankly, but that's how it works. Says who? That's the problem. It's a power the judiciary has given itself, and can only be remedied by the legislature acting in uniformity with the executive to overrule it by codifying it into law. The problem is, the judges can then rule that to be unconstitutional. It's like they've declared themselves to be kings and queens. When the president tries to do it with executive orders there is an uproar, when the judges act like tyrants we call it case law. Complete bullshit. And I have no chance in that fight.

Run him, write the damned ticket and move on....But we have a bunch of good guys. I'd respectfully ask that you reevaluate the totality of what transpired, and more importantly, WHY it went down like it did. There was clear ill intent on the part of the driver to create conflict. Driver handed the Trooper his CC License from the start w/o there being a reason... he wanted the Trooper to ask about firearms so he could tell the Trooper no if asked to surrender the firearm(s) or get out of the vehicle... this was a clearly calculated move on the part of the driver. This was nothing more than a gun-rights tard baiting up a situation so it would go down just like it went down... the driver wanted a confrontation and got it. I've posted 1000+ times on tis site I generally DO NOT ask for people's firearms so spare me the retort... had this been one of my guy's/gal's traffic stops (I'm a road supervisor), driver would have been arrested for obstruction for failing to exit the vehicle when asked. Some supervisors may allow citizens to dictate the course of interaction, and I will admit there are times when that is prudent... but I would not have allowed it in this case... because it was a clear attempt to attract attention and create a confrontation... there was no reason to offer up the CC License in the beginning like the driver did. Like others have posted... you want to draw a line in the sand and make a point... you better be right or rich, or both. I didn't realize they were teaching telepathy at the academy these days. |

Notice the white cop that had his hand on his gun? He had the "hood" flipped down on his holster ready to draw. So? I do that on every traffic stop I conduct... once I make contact with the driver, the hood is flipped back up (usually). Stop doing that (deactivating retention)... who ever showed you that needs a ball-kick... if you came up with it on your own, stop doing it. |

And this is why you should never mention you have a concealed firearm during a routine stop. It's none of their business. as other have probably already posted...In some states it is the law to notify And if you are in one of those states then act accordingly, but it is not required in FL where this incident occurred, nor is it required in my state or most other states in the country. |

Quoted:
And we will agree to disagree on if we should obey unlawful laws. I know what you're saying. But the laws are bad laws, and I'm not going to throw stones at people when they disobey them. View Quote I'm pragmatic, and outcome-based. It's a probability thing. All laws (including the ones I vociferously disagree with - it's a looooong fuckin' list, and a lot of them are pretty chickenshit) are ultimately enforced and the end of a gun, depending on how important I think it is to assert my disagreement with them. Knowing that little fact, is what forms the basis of any strategy I have. These two knuckleheads in the video? Poor strategy. Really poor. They rolled the dice, and it wasn't snake eyes. They "won" (we're setting the bar pretty fookin' low, but I'll grant them a moral victory). Good for them. Me? I'm more risk averse. |

Outside of the major cities, many LE's are paid about as well as elementary school teachers. You get what you pay for. Our teachers pull about $80k/year. I'm outside a large area... I've made on average 76K over the last three years... I don't think our teachers are that well paid but I could be wrong... |

Seizing a gun during a traffic stop for no other reason than to conclude a traffic violation investigation that in most states cannot lead to an arrest should be a 4th amendment violation. The "for your safety and mine" argument is fucking retarded. Officers have the right to disarm the driver for the course of the stop The driver in the video is ridiculous for arguing and demanding a supervisor. he is ensuring he'll be sitting there for 30 minutes while the supervisor responds Not like we carry them around in our trunk Talk about predictability. Because its is established already There is nothing to debate Officers can secure firearms on traffic stops I've had them take the firearm, remove the ammo, and return the firearm without the ammo after writing the ticket. In OK the law requires you give an LEO notice if they pull you over. When I asked for the ammo, he told me I could pick it up at the PD the next morning. It wasn't there after the discussion I had with the chief of police the next day. Had I not had the County Commissioner and my State Senator call before I arrived, the chief probably wouldn't have given a damn and that officer would still be pulling that shit. That was 10 years ago. A year ago before my TKR I pulled over on I35 behind a car broken down to help an eldely couple. Their lower radiator hose had a hole in it. I was under the car duck taping the hole up when a female HP pulled in behind me. She asked if she could be of assistance and the old gentlemen told her to ask me. I was under the car when I told her we needed water to get them home and that I had a 9mm in my pocket. (just following the law). She told me to come out from under the car and to keep my hands in plain sight and away from my pockets. I couldn't fucking believe she was worried about officer safety. I put my hands behind my head like I was being arrested. She told me that wasn't necessary and to put my hands down. I told her to leave then I could get them the water but that I wasn't putting my hands down or moving until she left. I was worried about my safety while she was there and I told her so. I firmly believe because I carry a firearm the police consider me extremely dangerous and are trained that way from the get go. Every experience I have had with LEOs when they know I have a firearm has been very distasteful. I will follow the law if they initiate the contact but that is all. |

good thing they did not have a dog with them.
ok this driver is retarded no doubt about that. he is unable to articulate what his real problem is and sounds like a whiney bitch even if I somewhat agree with his sentiment. the no speaky cop is a whiney tool box as well . I think this is an outgrowth of the feelings are all important generation. the cops and everyone else should have some reasonable expectation of safety in a civilized society we all pay for it and are individually responsible for our own and societies safety. the" for officer safety" bullshit is about how the officer feels and the inability to articulate that feeling so whitewashing with "officer safety" your a sketchy dickhead , you look like the priest that tried to molest me is better than" officer safety" if its true . was the officer in real danger of being shot by a guy that just told him "I am armed here is my license" realistically no. the argument that you might wait till I return to my car then shoot me is fantasy at best. he might have shot you when you walked up to the car and did not so he has not shot you in 100% of your interactions so far. this guy is also demanding you call for backup and supervisors clearly trying to draw you in for a gunfight. so the public being uncomfortable with armed cops is crazy but the cops being afraid of armed citizens is reasonable? this whole thing is enforcing unwritten laws." I don't like you carrying a gun open or otherwise so ima fuq wit you about it by disarming you by force demands of i.d. serial number checks et all until it becomes more hassle than its worth to carry." if you are afraid of dogs, rednecks, black people, stupid people , assholes , old ladies , brown people or kids maybe being a police officer is not for you. maybe try sanitation or dairy queen. the longer this us and them routine goes the more of them become your real enemy. you cannot police Americans that no longer trust you or help you by general compliance with the law. we are all invested in this being better than it is now. 2 million cops are better suited to change than 350 million citizens |
