In Germany it´s a common practice too. We are required to have a first aid kit and a warning triangle in the car. Most people have it in the trunk.

I do comply with their requests to see license, registration and ID though.

Be careful with "Go file a complaint later" also. It's not uncommon that walking into a department and announcing you want to file a complaint results in retaliation. If you want to file a complaint, PLEASE get a lawyer to do it for you.

The last part reminds me of when I got my CCL (which isn't required here anymore) and the instructor played the dashboard cam video of an infamous small town Ohio cop that upon being informed that the driver had a licensed carry gun stated, "I could put a bullet in your head and sleep like a baby tonight" completely unprovoked. His partner ultimately had to send him back to the cruiser and finish the traffic stop alone. Nowadays, we don't have to legally declare we're carrying anymore.

[@hondolane3125]

I've taken to heart the philosophy I learned in my CPL class: If you don't tell an officer you have a firearm and license, he very well may see that you have a license when he runs your info at the car. Now, he is both wondering if you have your firearm with you, and why you didn't declare it. More importantly, declaring that you have a CPL, even when not carrying, tells the officer a lot about you - that you have been vetted at one of the highest levels in order to acquire your license. The officer will be more relaxed with less unknowns, which is always good for you. Dang it is good to see Paul up to participating in the videos with Roy!

[@bubbleman2002]

What if he didn't have a partner on that traffic stop? Did they talk about what might happen, and what you might have to do, then? I doubt it.

[@clynesnowtail1257]

This is why I dont bring it up unless there is a reason to, such as being asked to exit the vehicle, which has not yet happened to me. I dont believe its necessary information and may just complicate what should be a 10-15 minute delay in my travel. If I dont pull it out, they wont pull theirs out. Its that simple. I switched my wallet to my weak side so I wouldnt have to reach in the vicinity and possibly accidentally reveal it. Ive never had any issue across 6-8 stops in the past 15 years.

My only problem with making a complaint later is 99% of the time the police investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong. And that serves to reinforce the bad behavior. The officer is told he did nothing wrong so continues the same actions.

[@empireoflizards]

It is definitely a problem. But, when dealing with a corrupt cop, department, or the government in general, the average individual has few options on the spot, unfortunately. But, as Paul says, play it smart (so we can walk away to fight another day). Most of us use up our time to work and care for family; but if feasible, becoming active in the local politics, laws, or just helping the public awareness of said problems does work if enough people get involved. Just my $.02

Well, trying to explain to him that he's wrong while you're being detained is a good way to escalate a warning into an arrest.

@@ricktaylor5744 there was an incident in Florida where a cop mistook an acorn falling on his police SUV as a gunshot, and the cop returned fire. Sounds crazy, but it happened.

These two remind me of me and my brother, two very different people with two very different personalities. Much love to the Harrell family. I am grateful for all the videos.

[@rsteakvssoy8197]

The problem and there is a problem, most states have too many draconian laws and the average person isn't going to know them unless they have a lawyer driving around with them. Much of it is serve and collect not protect.

[@erikaraye9387]

Also…. Cops aren’t lawyers. They don’t know the laws any more than the average person does. Our police force is woefully under educated and under trained. Stay safe out there.

[@philipdepalma4672]

Many years ago one of my high school teachers who grew up in Philly in the Rizzo years taught us “when the cop stops you, that is not the time to argue your constitutional rights. Save that for the Lieutenant at the station house.”

Praying for you Paul 🇺🇸

Absolutely, don't be the kind of person who gets nervous around authority. Suddenly, your license plate light violation gets you searched while the cop is convinced there's no such thing as law-abiding, nervous people.

So good to see both of you giving straight talk good advice. Talking over gunshots in background. Appreciate Roys current service and subject matter expertise. Always appreciate paul

Paul, seeing a new video from you is always such a gift man. Having said that, and maybe it was just one of your good days although I hope it’s because you’re on the mend, you truly looked and sounded great. I know it’s a private matter and we all respect that, but we would also love to hear how you’re doing in your fight. God bless and Godspeed Paul.

Got pulled over in Texas. I have a Texas ccw permit. Asked the cop about it. If you don’t tell him that you have the ccw permit, it pops up and starts flashing on their computer. The same thing it does when you have a felony. He said it’s best if you just hand him the permit with your dl. Mainly so he doesn’t have to scroll down to look for why it’s flashing on the screen

[@smilingwolf1980]

Your permit instructor should have informed you that it is a legal requirement in the state of Texas to hand over your permit along with your license when you are carrying. It is under Section 411.205 of the Texas Government Code. It is always to your benefit to take the time to read the laws around concealed carry programs in the jurisdiction you live in.

[@joecosgrove3593]

In California if you don't have a concealed carry permit it is a good idea not to tell them that you have a gun in the car. You want the stop to be as short as possible. If you do tell them that's in the car they will pull you out of the car cuff you and make sure it's legal. Then they will search your entire car for their own safety. As far as I know you don't have to tell them if you don't have a concealed carry permit. You can carry it legally but once you tell them that it's in the trunk of your car your stop is going to be prolonged and they will look for a crime.

[@LibertyFirst1789]

"for their own safety" LOL!!!

[@greatwolf5908]

lovely to see paul again

[@MrZoichi]

Thank you both for the solid advice; especially about how to notify the officer about the firearm on your person.

[@jgt4862]

You can complain later about a cop giving an unlawful command, and 9 out of 10 times nothing will be done about the dirty cop.

[@hotrunny]

Cops are a big club that we ain't in.... good ol boys club.

[@Averagegunenthusiast]

You still aren’t going to win at the time of the encounter, and often the dirty cop doesn’t care. Best to go along with it, have a good legal insurance plan so you can get an attorney and handle it later.

[@us1fedvet]

Key is to keep a contemporaneous note, such as an audio recording on your cellphone of the transaction. Provide it not to the agency but to the local prosecutor’s office. Keep a copy for yourself since you may decide to send a copy to the state AG.

[@MiClLC]

@@Averagegunenthusiast Best to handle it on the side of the road. Once it enters a courtroom, you lose either way. Whether it be your freedom, or your time, money, and energy spent fighting for a not guilty verdict.

@@MiClLC handle it on the side of the road and it can cost you your life. I will take my chances in court. Remember you are innocent until proven guilty.

I’m glad Roy knows the law. Unfortunately, the SCOTUS has ruled (with Sotomayor the ONLY dissent) that Police Officers do not need to know the law, only to BELIEVE they are enforcing it. Some cops rely on this.

Don't refer to someone as SIR if they work for a living the same as you do. They don't need that show of respect unless they earn it.

[@Schwarzvogel1]

@@lynnkramer1211 I personally call everyone sir in any formal interaction. Why? I treat others with the same respect I would like to be treated with. You know, treating others with respect regardless of whether they have "earned" it in your eyes or not makes the world a better place. But then again, I happen to believe that everyone is entitled to a basic level of respect, unless they prove themselves otherwise unworthy of this by their conduct. Admiration, however, must be earned.
