Im a recent user to this site. Curious to kno if ur opinion has changed since ur original posting. My view is its better to let the officer do his job. Impeding an investigation is a crime. However, when an officer w/o reasonable suspicion (u kno what i mean) begans to frivolously expand his questioning past the original cause for the stop, it becomes not just a inconvenience but a civil rights violation. The automatic nervous response of the officer has to be controlled by that officer...basically he has to fine tune his cop sense. Its not incumbent upon a stopped suspect to try to settle the fears of the officer. Doing so causes more problems in the search and constitutional rights of the citizen. Disclaimer: I am not an Internet lawyer. 50+ yrs of living has taught me a lot and i’m still learning. In ending, its the law-abiding concealed weapon holder thats less of a danger to the public at-large.
