I remember that video of that complete jerkoff Canton cop. I felt like driving up there and beating his nazi azz into the ground.
What a stupid law that is.
I now have first hand knowledge that in the cities Anderson and Greenwood, it is "policy" that an officer, after having been notified of a legally carried concealed firearm by a permit holder, take temporary possession of the firearm and run the serial numbers through a data base. (Supposedly to check if the weapon is stolen).
To me, this is "back door" registration. Once they have the record of "contact" with you, and they have your make, model, and serial number of whatever weapon you happen to be carrying that day, there is a data base SOMEWHERE that the particular weapon belongs to you.
What if an officer comes to the door, and asks if there are any weapons in the house... are they going to "run the numbers" on those as well? It sure would make confiscation a lot simpler, wouldn't it?
Unfortunately, I have lost all confidence in our Governor. I doubt she would sign any legislation protecting gun owners.
Canton’s Psycho Cop helped the cause for reform by his actions that were caught on tape by the camera in his police car.
For me, the most surprising aspect of this whole episode is that the dashcam was working and that the video was not *accidentally* erased.
