Quoted:
He even asked what type I was carrying, and said please just keep your hands away from that area.My only other interactions have been with OSHP, and they were snotty about it. One was pretty good, one took the gun during the stop, and one got assertive for the remainder of the stop. As for the ticket, I'm one of the slowest drivers in the world. I set cruise whenever possible. I drive 50 miles to work, one way, so I drive legally knowing that my odds are high based on my time on the road. I have an audible alert on my dash display, set to 75. Just for a few seconds, I was travelling in traffic and not watching speed. Dammit! Every Columbus police officer I've "interacted with" has been extremely cool after going through my duty to inform. CPD has it together, IMHO. I'd like to add that while much more professional about it, OSHP has never given me any guff about a CHL, either. |

You weren't on Gemini parkway were you? There was a motorcycle cop standing in the center turn lane hitting people with laser, pointing them over today. Looked like an easy day for him.

The only time I ever "badged" my way out of a traffic stop was with An Ohio Trooper while I was traveling.
I had sheepishly apologized for speeding, told him he had me dead-to-rights, and that if he wanted to give me a ticket, I understood. He was extremely cool about it, and I was a little speechless, to be honest. Very unexpected. |

To be clear, I'll be paying $220, or whatever the hell the charge is in Columbus these days, for my transgression of driving at the same speed as everyone around me.

Let me guess, headed West bound between i-71 and high street?
I drive 670 between Easton and 315 in each direction every day, I only ever see cops there where it drops to 55. |

Headed toward the airport, eastbound, just before the exit for fifth ave, as you bend to the left, he was against the inner wall.

Both times I wasn't sure if I was getting a ticket or not. I have really slowed down my driving in the past few years even on duty. Columbus is a pretty squared away department especially for their size. I have trained with some of their firearms instructors and SWAT guys and almost all of them are good guys. |

Had not had a ticket of any kind in 30 years plus!!! 
So I ask to in court, to have the charge,change to an equipment failure ! Cost was the same $169.00, but NO points on my license!!! This was a small town! They make part of there budget with tickets! I also was only doing 38 in 25! Points on your license is slippery slop that I did not want to start!!! 
Won't hurt to ask!!! Let us know what it cost! An how many points did they give you!!! PITA45

I would ask! If they are only after your money any way. And they do not want to teach you a lesson! They may go for it! Good Luck!!! PITA45

I got pulled over a few months ago. Small town I live near. Rolled a stop sign. Saw the cop but it was too late and knew I was going to be stopped. I was stopped with my DL and CCW in hand before he came around the corner.
When he approched I told him I had a CCW and the pistol was in the console. He said "all I need is your DL please leave the gun in the console". When he came back all he said to me was "Stop at the sign from now on OK" I said Yes sir . Stay safe and have a good day.

I wouldn't feel any need to thank the LEO. You did what you are supposed to do and he did what he is supposed to do and you got the ticket.

I've only ever been pulled over once since I've had my CHL, and that was because the DMV's computers are slow to update. I didn't inform because I didn't have it on me at the time. Officer asked, I stated I didn't have it on me, he checked the registration that was printed 7 minutes before his scanner picked my plate up and he let me go. Stop took a total of 3 minutes and he didn't seem jumpy at all, even after he ran the plate to see I had my CHL and didn't inform him.

I'm CFD so I deal with CPD on a regular basis. They deal with enough ghetto BS that as long as you are a good guy and not pulling any shenanigans they aren't going to give you any hassle CHL or not. Most I know are gun guys. Generally speaking cops who work in the hood are pretty chill when they know they are dealing with normal folks like most people on this board. It's a welcome relief actually. The guys who you have to watch out for are the "true believers" that work the small towns.
I've gotten stopped my OSP twice. Both times they were extremely cool. Didn't give me a ticket and didn't give me any gruff about carrying. |

I was stopped by OSP years ago when I was greatly exceeding the speed limit. Young trooper said something sarcastic similar to "OK, let me see your pilots license." I handed him my license and he took it back to his car. He was there quite a bit of time and seemed to be having a hard time on the radio.
He threw down the mic and stormed back to my window and asked "What the hell is THIS?" "Exactly what you asked for, my pilot's license." An embarrassing silence followed, He started laughing about the hard time they were giving him on the radio and sent me on my way. -- Chuck |

I never understood the "duty to inform".
I'm not a cop but it seems to me every car has a gun or at least that is my assumption. I got my ticket from an Indiana State and didn't know you didn't have to inform. I told him and he said thanks but you don't have to do that and then asked for my CHL. Didn't ask where it was and acted like he could care less. In Indiana its a civil offense if you pay the extra which I didn't. |

I got stopped Sunday on I-75. Trooper was nice and wasn't surprised i had a CCW. He just asked where it was ( glove box) and said okay just leave it there.
I got a ticket anyway and probably deserved it. He was very professional and polite. |
