Ohh... The last time we moved, I had all of my guns and ammo loaded into my Expedition(fully loaded). I was pulled over for no reason at all. The cop claimed that I was "weaving"(I believe the dude working at the gas station I stopped at called the cops on me). When asked for my license/registration, I told the cop that I had firearms and ammo in the car because I was in the process of moving. The next thing I know, I'm staring down the barrel of a Glock 17 aimed at my face, and he was yelling at me to get out of the car.
The bastard put me up against the car and searched me, he called for "backup", and they proceeded to remove all of my guns from the car, and ran the numbers on all of them. It was a little eerie that my name was associated with all of them. After determining that none were stolen, he said that he thought he "smelled" alcohol on me. I then passed a field sobriety test, and he gave me a breathalyzer anyway. I blew a 0.0. He THEN let me go...... I've had a VERY negative view of the police ever since.(that wasn't the first time I've been subjected to bullshit like that)
I hope one day I see that fat bastard pinned down by some gang bangers or something, needing my help... I'll just let them eat him for dinner....
Sounds like you had a justifiable lawsuit on your hands. A local city here had to pay 22,000 for merely harassing someone who was OCing at Home Depot.
