Positive LEO Experience (Traffic Stop)

[Governors20]

I got pulled over in BFE Blanco county by DPS for going 80. The trooper was a guy I shot with on the shooting team. Small world. We spend a good 15 minutes on the side of the road getting caught up on everyone.

Did he pat you down?

I was patted down a few yrs ago

Thought it was inappropriate as well, but not going to argue on the side of the road

sent from the batcloset in the batcave on the batphone

What was he patting you down for? A screw driver to remove the cover?

About a month after I got my CHL, I was pulled over with my family in the car. The first thing I did was to tell him I have a CHL, and that I had a weapon with me as I handed him my license and CHL. He asked where the weapon was (concealed on my hip), he said I needed to put a license plate on the front bumper and told us to have a good evening.

When I worked the streets, a CHL was essentially a "free warning" card. Might be a written warning to document my activity, but unless you were being a general ass, had done something incredibly stupid or didn't have insurance, you were on your way pretty quickly.

I wanted you to be in a frame of mind to stop and help me if I were wrestling with someone on the side of the road... not driving by thinking "eff that mother-effer, gets what he deserves!"
