While what you say is true, this case is still a clear affirmation that police have no right to detain or hassle citizens simply because they are open carrying. No one who is obeying the law and acting within their rights should be hassled by the police. This case makes it clear that detaining someone simply because they open carry--even if the property owner whose building you are in calls the police because of it--is wrong. It is a positive because people in New Mexico who open carry will now be hassled less by the police.

This ruling means that cops can stil harrass criminals and speeders and leave people trying to watch a lame hollywood movie in peace.

I doubt it. There is a law in Colorado that if you go too slow in the left lane, regardless of the speed limit (like it you are holding up traffic) you can get pulled over. It's never done though.

Yeah. You would think they would change the speed limit to accommodate those people. But it just sets up a lane to funnel people into a speed trap. But it was mostly a law that sounds good but is meaningless. I like those laws more than any other.
