"The suspect had these two high powered handguns." Man, those sound extra dangerous.
and it wasn’t until the final car was searched that police apprehended the suspect.
I am glad that the suspect was apprehended. I am concerned that the end will have justified the means. No description would have made suspects of everyone just for being at that intersection? Was the fact that the man had 2 guns in the car proof positive that he was the man for whom they were looking? I can see how a coincidence of being armed in one's vehicle at this time and place could put one in an nearly undefendable position(was on the way to the store sounds weak).
I wonder what they would have done with any that had denied the search of their vehicles? LE asked permission to search the vehicles but had handcuffed the people. Seems to me that if they had the authority and justification to handcuff the people, they had the same authority and justification to search the vehicles. Conversely, if they needed the search to be consensual, they had no authority or justification to handcuff the people. Which is it?
Officer safety.
Think of the children.
What do you have to hide?
Pick one.
Officer safety. It's a dangerous job with inherenrt risks, embrace it... You'll sleep better.
Think of the children. I am, I do not believe we want the children thinking that this kind of action is right...
What do you have to hide? I tend to be a private individual who has strong feelings for my curtilage and do not appreciate people tossing my vehicle or coming to my house going through our chest of drawers coonfingering our unmentionables... Same difference in my mind.
Pick one.
If my Lady was shackled on the side of the road, her crime being driving through this intersection. I would be very displeased.
