Re: Every cop in town quits after Mexico attack Gunmen fired more than 1,000 bullets
Exactly.
I once got pulled by a young trooper. He told me I was in violation of the law, because I was carrying my gun on my person instead of in my glove box, despite having a carry permit. I politely explained that he was wrong, and cited the letter of the law. He insisted he was right.
I didn't argue with him any further. There is no point in arguing with a cop on the side of the road. I politely allowed him to assert what he thought was correct, and went on my way.
When I got home, I made some phone calls. Soon the state AG's phone started ringing.
When it was over and the dust settled, EVERY SINGLE trooper station in the state recieved a letter, the Attorney General's legal position paper, explaining to them that a person with a permit CAN carry on them in the car, and that the troopers were not allowed to harass them about it.
I call that a win.
When a cop pulls you over hand them your license and registration, oh yes and your insurance.
You don't talk to cops.
Let him do what he wants and it will be handled in the courts and if he did anything wrong go file a complaint with IA.
If you don't give him ammunition, he has nothing to fight with.
You do not fight with officers of the law, even though they think they are, they are not the last word on anything.
