labgrade What's the beef (or where's the beef). Never said there was one. How can something that is perfectly legal be "abuse"?
It wasn't that bad (except I got a little worried when the tall one reached for her baton while moaning something in German.
)
If you got kids, and you teach them to use firearms, do we now have to teach them the "legal" ramifications of a traffic stop while transporting the firearms.
You want an example. Here is one. Same scenario, however when the officer opened the trunk and couldn't find a serial number on a muzzleloader, the officer became very upset and accused the individual of filing it off. Guy spend over an hour handcuffed in the squad before the Sgt finally got back to the officer and told him that it ain't got no serial number.
How about this one. Took the Ruger 10/22 out of case which was in the trunk and required him to pick it up at the department. Upon arrival refused to release it without a copy of the bill of sale or a court order. Guy lost it-the rifle was a gift from his first wife 10 years ago. Cost him more than the rifle was worth to pay for the attorney to get the order.
How about this. Seized the Officer's model 45 and the case from the trunk-"can pick it up at the station." Took him four trips (had to take off work) to filing get it back. Why-"we had to check it out."
Like dogs. Large motel by the airport. The police routinely bring the canine unit to the motel parking lot, have the dog sniff the cars, and any cars that are subsequently pawed, the owners are found and the vehicles are searched without a warrant. Source-newspaper.
Naw, I am making this all up. This stuff never happens.
