To All,
This article recently popped up on my Yahoo news and I thought I would get some opinions on this:

First I want to say that I do actually believe that we need some rules of the road! While I deplore the idea of the nannystate I...
O.K. i would like an honest report from those of you who have had their guns asked for by a police officer during a traffic stop, and what agency State, County, Local?
As a LEO I am concerned that maybe we are mis-training officers on dealing with Armed Citizens.
I really want honesty here...
Just a quick question.
Suppose you are pulled over for a supposed traffic violation and you have on your person a concealed weapon and you are properly licensed to do so.
The officer asks you if you have any weapons and you answer truthfully to the affirmative. The officer then asks for...

It seems that a lot of officers in Baltimore think they shouldn't be held accountable for their driving practices, because they could be doing something important that wasn't necessarily registered as an emergency call.

Lawmakers in Maine are debating a legislation that would prevent police from pulling people over for the sole offense of "not wearing a seatbelt." It would revert the law back to the days when it was a ticketable offense, only when already pulled over for another offense.
Yet the control...
Power goes to some peoples heads and chokes of what intelligence might be there. Here we have a fire chief doing what he's paid to do and a trooper who decides that he is "the law". Wonder if he'd have given him a ticket under the same circumstances if the victim were a fellow officer?
Fire...
Georgia State Rep. Bobby Franklin has introduced a bill to eliminate state driver's licenses, saying that they infringe on a person's rights and that citizens shouldn't have to have permission to travel or to show their papers.
Georgia Republican’s bill would do away with driver’s licenses
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration minister is making public statements about a technology that forces drivers to blow into a breathalyzer every single time they start their cars. Essentially this is an effort to make you prove your innocence from committing DUI several times...

Here's a fun story. Two men have come forward about an incident involving the Atlanta PD during a traffic stop. The victims allege that they were pulled out of their car at gunpoint, searched without consent, and then in plain view, strip-searched and checked one of then men's anus for drugs...
Yep, they're in the majority now, so they're looking for new ways to raise revenue and make us pay. Commuter taxes, raising the COIT for "public safety" (actually a dem is sponsoring this one), new municipal income taxes, red light cameras (those have worked out so well in other places)...
Apparently one town is using volunteers to sit by the road with speed cameras take pictures of speeders.
The "volunteer officers" are writing complaint letters to the speeders instead of tickets. I don't know if I can support this or not. I'm leaning towards no.
SPEEDING motorists will...
How come police can assist you to do something that still results in a fine? Is there no legitimate excuse for speeding? Would it make sense for police and ambulances to be strictly limited to the posted speed limits?
Did that fine teach the family a lesson? Surely on the next delivery he...
I got to thinking a bit on a recent discussion about traffic stops and police trying to fish for reasons to search the car, lacking any reasons whatsoever besides the moving violation or equipment malfunction.
Somebody said something to the effect that "if people are too dumb to know their...
Just heard about this, what do you all think? Would you get one if they became available?

Johnson County attempts to restrict and deny my rights....
Well, there really isn't a short version of this story so here it goes. The wife sent me out for lottery tickets, I went and got them along with a gallon of gas for the chainsaw. On my way back to her house a Johnson County Sheriffs...
Denver Police pulled over Alexander Landau for making an illegal turn. When he refused to consent to a search of his trunk, asking police for a warrant, a bloodbath ensued. Several officers bludgeoned him with fists, radios, and flashlights. One of the officers was involved in another...
What legal right, if any, does an officer have to ask for passenger ID during a traffic stop?
My wife just got stopped on her way home from picking up our daughter. Another officer had a vehicle stopped in the middle of the road near a downtown intersection. My wife slowed down, allowed...
OK, I know starting one of these threads will probably get me nailed (especially on ARFcom).
Here's the deal, on my way to church Sunday on Rt. 49 probably about 5-10 miles outside of Kouts, I got nailed. 71 in a 55. The cop had several cars in front of him, so he couldn't swing around very...
A new cell-phone application makes it even easier to tattle on "bad drivers" you see on the roads. Now you don't even have to call the police, or talk to a real person, you can just recite the person's license plate number into a smartphone tattling interface.
Apparently anyone can write a...
