Do you Inform if pulled over while carrying?

[lrahm]

So there is no link between the Indiana driver license database and the database of LTCH holders? I.e. if a cop runs your DL during a stop, does it not tell him if you have a LTCH?

Our system will tell us if the registered owner of the car has an LTCH. Also I agree with NHT3. If someone lies to me, he is probably more apt to get a citation than not.

I know in Indiana you don't have to, but I do just the same.

Wow, that was a disturbing video. If the law is to inform ASAP, the guy should have. The cop had attitude before the situation. At one point did the cop basically say he wanted to pull his
Glock and shoot the guy. I really did not want to watch it again to confirm that.

Car guy tried to inform, but was told to SHUT UP.
I think the officer was let go, but tried to get the union to get him back. I can't remember.

Yes it was a painful video to watch. And yes he did say that he would put 10 shots in him and his partner would be a good witness to the execution of a "stupid human being" or something similar to that.
Unfortunately this kind of behavior gives all cops a bad name, and for what it's worth, these people were white. So it makes me think, that this cop is a first class a$$ (*) hole, and he does not care what color you are, he hates all people equally.
I wish as a citizen that we could give it right back to them without the risk of going to jail, but they hold all the power and all the cards, is it any wonder we have civil unrest right now?

 

[Dirtebiker]

No, not unless asked ..... then I always tell the truth .....

It's not a lie to say "nothing illegal"!

True, but it begs follow-up questions. Refusing to answer the question is also not lying and more assertively concludes the fishing portion of the detention.

The cop was a complete a-hole. I sure hope the lost his badge. I don't have a answer for all this stuff that is going on. Especially after hearing the news from Baton Rouge this morning. It does hit home for my wife and I. Our oldest son is a cop. And I know he does the job professionally, and with compassion. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Baton Rouge police department.

The tin foil hat wearing side of me thinks this could be a conspiracy to divide the country with a bunch of racial tension, right now primarily between BLM and LE, serves as a great distraction to Hillary's antics.

 

[level0]

Yes, if asked...understanding that there is some risk of having my gun stripped, bullets stolen, pointed at me, discharged into my midsection, wallet stolen, bad neighbors, etc.

It worked for me. He asked if I had drugs or weapons in the vehicle, I said "nothing illegal" . I had drugs and multiple guns at the time.

Sure, waiving this right of ours will often "work" out just fine, no differently than maintaining it by not answering ...until you get an officer that unnecessarily escalates things.

If only we could know beforehand what sort of person was detaining us.

The last 2 times I've been pulled over I have informed. The 1st time went fine, it was really early in the morning and I was on my way out of town. Officer got me for speeding, turned my interior lights on and kept my hands on the steering wheel, informed him and he let me go with a warning.

2nd time was around the New Albany area on 64. Got pulled over by a state cop, informed him and he insisted on retrieving my firearm, which was in the center console, I politely declined and he kept insisting. Ultimately he had me get out of my car and into his as he wrote the ticket.

Did he want to reach across you and take it out of the center console?

 

[Libertarian01]

I would not inform because I am not legally required to do so.

Offering information, not matter how innocent or innocuous it may appear on the surface, has little if any positive effect and can have detrimental effect by dragging out a situation that is best closed early.

IF the officer asks, my answer would be as friendly as I could muster, "Officer, I really appreciate the good work you do but I must refuse to answer any questions without my attorney being present. I want to leave. Am I being detained or am I free to go?" This allows for the courtesy of responding to the question while at the same time not directly answering and further closing the door on any additional games the officer may(?) be wanting to play. This answer protects my rights and is still respectful.

He was fired, but PD was forced to re-instate. He then got a cushy settlement if he would resign. Canton officer Daniel Harless resigns in settlement with city - News - The Repository - Canton, OH

This is just further evidence of what a messed up system we have. This is the result of law makers in a "blue" state. He should have been fired with absolutely no recourse what so ever.
If any of us behaved that way at work, we would be fired without any recourse, why should he be any different?

He better make that 40K last a long time. We can only hope to God that ass clown never finds another job in LE.

 

[MohawkSlim]

Harless is infamous in Ohio. He's all over the forums and folks say things like, "You don't want to get Harlessed."

That is probably the most "cushy" part of the settlement. Canton PD cannot say anything about the incident.

 

[Maximinus Thrax]

Yes, but only if I am in a state where it is required by law to do so...like Ohio.
