Yeah, what was he thinking wearing something like that? He was just asking for it.
(Do I really have to to add a sarcasm tag?)
Gotta be careful walking around in the Castro district in SF. If you drop your keys, just kick them along the ground till you get out.
1. It’s not necessary to point the gun at the suspect. Draw it if you think you may need it, but pointing it the suspect’s head when he doesn’t have his weapon in his hand is way overkill.
2. You don’t aim your gun at someone’s head either, face or not. You aim for the torso.
This officer sounds like a total moron.
If the court’s ruling is correct, then when this officer travel’s outside his jurisdiction, he could be treated the same way for carrying a concealed weapon.
I believe most agencies would turn a blind eye to an officer having a concealed weapon. Now, it seems they would be wrong to have a policy like that.
How can they verify the I.D.?
If this cop is right, it rewrites the rules for a lot of people, and the court should be aware of that. This is just plain idiotic.
I hope the attorney takes this to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court addresses the lower courts and the officer for the moronic behavior/ruling they have exhibitied.
