What a maroon!
SLB, I'll bet your digital image will be sold to other agencies. If I know Kentucky and that sleazebucket Patton who posed for the 'first digital license picture', there's money to be made and corruption to protect.
No, pleeze tell me it's not true. Corruption in the state government? Never happen in Kentucky
Last Monday morning I was pulled over by a county cop on my way to work at 4am. He approached my truck with a flashlight in one hand and his pistol in the other. He ordered me to keep my hands where he could see them. I kept them glued on the steering wheel. I didn't notice the gun at first, but when I turned to look he was drawing down RIGHT ON MY HEAD! (Luckily, I had already taken out my license and CCW permit as soon as I pulled over). When I saw this, I said "Whoa there buddy, what's the problem?" He said the store down the road had just been broken in to and the silent alarm went off. He said the back door was wide open. I had just pulled out from the road right next to it when he saw me. He seemed convinced that I just left the store's parking lot.
At this point, he was looking at my driver's license and CCW permit. He asked if I had a weapon on me. I said it was in the truck, I always carry it, and asked him if he wanted to get it. I'm not sure if me having a gun made him more nervous, or (as I would think) if a CCW is proof of a good citizen. He declined to check my weapon. After he quickly interrogated me about where I came from/was going, he spotted a metal lockbox (similar to a store's cash box) in the back of my truck. A guy at work recently gave it to me but I didn't have the key with me. I told him to shake it if he wanted - the whole time keeping my death grip on the steering wheel. After a few tense minutes, he was finally convinced I wasn't his public enemy #1, and he went to join the other cops at the store. I'd never had a loaded gun pointed at my head before, and I thought I might have to go back home to change my underwear!
What do you guys think? Was he a little too quick to draw, or were his actions understandable?
