Hmm, that puzzles me.
In Michigan a CPL (concealed pistol license) is in the system along with drivers license and plate registration. Therefore, if a cop 'lights up' and pulls over a vehicle he knows if the registered owner has a CPL just by running the plates.
Now, in this instance, the cop was in his cruiser when he spotted the citizen. Why couldn't he verify the concealed carry license along with the drivers license (valid state ID) and case closed?
Do not all states have this interchange of information or ability of officers to verify information from within their vehicles?
Indiana does.
