Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Good on those cops for not freaking out and power trippin. They could have easily gone the status quo method of making a huge scene, cuffing him, putting him in the back of a squad car and then making the rest of his day (if not more) suck. Pleasantly surprised.
This is exactly how this should be handled on both sides. Officers did a great job and the guy handled it perfectly. Given his background discussed it’s no surprise he knew the best way to handle it but everyone was comfortable (even joking) through out.
It was a fun video to watch IMO.
I’m not sure how I feel about this. A couple of places where I have mixed feelings:
He went above and beyond the call of duty to cede constitutional rights to avoid confrontation. Is that really what we want? That waiving constitutional rights early and often is the means by which we “earn” the privilege of not getting your ass kicked by the police? He offered, without even being asked, to show them everything, open the trunk, etc. What would have happened if he hadn’t offered, and instead it panned out like this: “Hey, I noticed the firearms, just for our own safety we’d like to search your vehicle.” And he replies “An expired tab is a registration infraction, not a criminal violation, and thus doesn’t invoke a right to search under this state’s law.” This whole thing would have played out differently had he exerted, rather than ceded, constitutional rights, so let’s be careful about celebrating the outcome. Are we going to set the bar for success to be “anytime an armed black man survives a traffic stop, it’s a win for the US Constitution?”
And on to the driver… What the hell? Appears to be driving out of state, or at least out of state plates, with loaded automatic and suppressed weapons, in a car he knows has expired tabs. We honor the majesty of the 2A when we show our neighbors that we pair our right to carry with how seriously we take being law abiding, situationally aware citizens. If you have to drive your unregistered junker down the block to trade it in for your new ride, you load your entire FFL arsenal into it first? That explanation doesn’t check out. Constitutionally, it doesn’t have to check out, it’s immaterial. But that explanation probably triggered the cop to be thinking “this feels like a lawsuit bait stop,” and realized they were going to have to play this very cool.
Favorite part - "yes everything is loaded"
Maybe not all cops are dumb enough to chase bullets
