After all, I am on the side of the good guys and I want them on my side. If someone calls the police about someone with a gun, they have to go check it out...why give them a hard time if your one of the good guys?

The officers in this audio gave the guy no reason to believe they planned on doing anything but writing their report, which they are required to do when sent out to a call. Why not work with them? Give them your ID, they run it and they say "Cool buddy, thanks for working with us, we'll see you around."

He wasn't ever really detained, they were just having a friendly conversation.
And now you are in the system.
"Let's run the SN on your weapons, your DL and your SSN "Just to be safe"
Now your routine traffic stops will look like a scene from "SWAT".
Anytime you get pulled over it will be a newsworthy event.

"14 police officers and the anti-terrorist unit were involved in a traffic stop today when the driver of a vehicle known to have several a semi-automatic assault weapons failed to signal."


see you on the news!
