Cop was very lackadaisical about his situational awareness and personal security. Only checked him for firearms after he cuffed him.
Cops getting shot everywhere, you’d think he’d know better.
In our town a distant family friend of my parents, mainly his mother who was a sweetheart and conversely they had to deal with the guy her son, I’ll call dufus. Dufus was asked by a neighbor to help them break free from drug addiction. They gave him their filled script and said no matter what only give me the prescribed amount each day. This guy agreed, foolishly and he’s always been loud and tries to be dominate in any situation. If you know dufus, you expect it and know he’s full of crap and will back down if you call him on it and most ignore him, if you don’t know him he could be considered aggressive but he had managed to make it into his late 50’s without any brushes with the law.
Well said neighbor gets a few days into their breaking the cycle experiment and decides they can’t and demands the dufus hand over the entire bottle and dufus following the guys wishes says no. Druggie calls the cops and says neighbor has his script and dufus answers the door and is loud and mouthy and sets the tone with the cops and it isn’t good as he tries to explain the situation. The cops count the pills and they are correct for the day it is and dufus continues to argue and refuses to hand them over and the cops throw the cuffs on him at the druggies request because the script is in their name and dufus shouldn’t even have them(dufus remember-remember, no good deed goes unpunished!)
They put dufus, who’s never been arrested in his life, in the cruiser and take him off to the county jail. When he gets to the jail they tell him we are going to search you and dufus blurts out so your finally going to take the gun in my belt! At that point the officer and jail workers put him against the wall and frantically searches and finds the .38spl snub nose.
They charge him with introducing contraband but the officer never told him about anything illegal going into the jail would get more charges and that one was dismissed and he had also volunteered the contraband. Long story short he got out of the charges but at great expense and aggravation. Said idiot officer who failed to search dufus is still on the job.
I thought the same, especially when he let him walk up to his truck to get his keys and ID. What if he had a gun in the truck?
