Opinions, comments, snotty remarks, true legal observations?
The law is whatever the local LEO who has pulled you over decides it is. Try invoking your rights and he’ll magically find an eight-ball of cocaine under your seat. Why do you think they are all paranoid about civilians filming their arrest stops?
No, it appears I was breaking the law and didn’t even know it:

Bummer. Won’t make that mistake again. I’m just glad the local LEO was cool.
“No, it appears I was breaking the law and didnt even know it:”
I’m fairly certain we’re all breaking the law and don’t know it. There’s too many laws to keep up with. :)
I understand your point, but mine is simply that as Americans we shouldn’t have to be dependent on whether or not the LEO is cool (and on how desperate for money the jurisdication that he works for is). You lucked out. The next guy (who maybe wasn’t as charming) may not have gotten out so lucky.
What the hell is a CHL?
I have to presume you are pulling my leg.
Concealed Handgun License.
That could have been ugly, the Feds would have confiscated all my gear and my truck and I’d be signing in once a month from the slammer.
I didn’t know that, they didn’t teach us that in class.
concealed handgun license I suppose.
Concealed Handgun License would be my guess.
Looks like you picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue dude.
That’s one, dalereed.
Wow...overreact much?
Whoa pardner...
Who stepped on your tail?
Can’t disagree with a word you wrote there. Problem is handcuffs are a very personal issue, and I don’t want them.
They hurt my wrists ;)
The 2nd Amendment is what it is, or was. You can’t win a battle with someone who has the badge. I’m not charming, but I my name is Chuck and that rhymes with luck, apparently it did yesterday anyway.
I thought it was a good story. And I don’t expect to have to talk down to my audience around here, most of the FReepers have a lick of sense, so I take a few liberties.
Most people around here have a pretty good mood, but you don’t always know when you step on a fireant mound.
Stay safe FReepers. And don’t use complexicated abbreviations on dalereed.
But I did ask for snotty remarks ;)
In defense of dalereed’s initial question, I see CCW used as an abbreviation a lot more often than CHL. I’m not going to try to defend his response to your answer, though, haha...
