I hope I'm correct.
I don't know what you've been reading, but it's been mentioned over and over in this thread that she was NOT required by TN law to show her permit. This officers CO even admitted that.
Wow. Please make sure you actually understand the law before you make a judgment like this.
Or his attorney (that everyone told him to get) has told him (and correctly so), to stop posting the facts of this case on the internet...
Apocalypse-Now said:i'm not jumping to conclusions about the officer's actions without the whole, verified story.
Apocalypse-Now said:i'm not a LE officer myself, but this is clearly not a case of abuse of power.
Actually, it does fit into a pattern, not far outside of the norm. Many officers don't see that many concealed carry permits -- they tend to have few opportunities to interact with folks carrying lawful concealed weapons as those folks tend to be far more law-abiding than the average. (Ironically, also far more law-abiding than the average for cops! ...but that's a different thread.) Just as we often read of officers giving bad or unlawful advice regarding permits and carrying of weapons, we see where they themselves can get mixed up in a mistake because they simply don't know these laws well.ok, then if it isn't, the officer's behavior would make absolutely no sense-unless we're not getting the whole story here.
You know, a lot of suits or motions filed against law enforcement officers and/or agencies simply seek an official statement of policy change, and/or the department taking steps to educate their officers in the correct application of a law. It isn't always about winning a million dollar lawsuit.yeah, he'll win a big suit against that cop.
Now that's an absurd straw-man argument and you should be embarrassed to have made it.the lady at walmart was rude to me the other day and hurt my feelings. i should sue too. hilarious.
Apocalypse-Now said:ok, then if it isn't, the officer's behavior would make absolutely no sense-unless we're not getting the whole story here. i'm not jumping to conclusions about the officer's actions without the whole, verified story. sorry. i don't believe "officer excessive force" stories i hear on the news either, for the same reason.
Nor do you know what kind you're dealing with then and there. That being the case, why INTRODUCE an excuse for misbehavior if the law doesn't REQUIRE it?You never know what kind of douch bag that they had to deal with before you!
So, let me get this straight, you're willing to jump to the conclusion that she was in the wrong by not presenting her permit right away, without confirming the laws yourself, or really reading the thread and noticing that that didn't violate the law, or in other words, not making sure it's a full verified story.
Actually, that's not true at all. You absolutely did:
The last time I checked, there was no physical law of nature which required people's behavior to "make sense", much less make sense to YOU.ok, then if it isn't, the officer's behavior would make absolutely no sense-unless we're not getting the whole story here.
now that i know it's not, i am no longer buying the story,
