[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1583549, member: 1132"] I have to disagree here. If the individual was complying fully with all applicable laws, then there's no PC to run him for wants/warrants/convictions. This isn't a traffic stop where the subject broke the law, it's a field interview. Nothing more, nothing less. Once the officer determined that the gun was unloaded as required by law, he had no further RS or PC to detain the citizen any longer. I think he went exactly as far as he should have on the request for service and no further. Police/citizen relations in some communities have become so adversarial, it's no wonder the citizens are actively out to bust cops. As the professionals being paid to enforce the law, police must be held to a higher standard. The first rule is that it's never personal for the public servant. You're there to enforce the law within the guidelines of departmental policy and community standards. The peace of a law enforcement officer cannot be breached. If every officer remembered this fact before going 10-8, perhaps they'd have fewer confrontations with law abiding citizens. :anyone: [/QUOTE]
