LEO seriously abuses CCW holder

IMO, this represents that 1 in 1,000 really bad cop.

Let me translate for you: Oh crap. I just searched a car without even speaking to the driver or asking his permission. If I had done that, I would have been informed he had a weapon, instead of sticking my head someplace it could have been blown off. Jeez I'm a jackass. I feel really stupid and embarrassed now. I'm going to have to take it out on this guy so I can save face and still look a macho bad-ass.

The problem is that when you are aproached by a police officer, you have no way of knowing if they are going to be one of the 1,000 good cops or the one bad cop. I live in a state where notification is not required. That's why I don't subscribe to the "just comply" and "always notify" advice that is prevelant on this forum. If I am not being officially detained, I will not waive any rights nor provide the officer with anything not required to by law (which, in Washington, is nothing.) If I am being detained, I will not voluntarily disclose that I am carrying a firearm or possess a CPL. I am required, by WA law, to present my CPL if demanded by a police officer.

This officer clearly has an attitude problem. If it were me I would sue the officer and the dep't, the video clearly shows the cop was in the wrong.

Having been a LEO in both military and civilian life, my only main comment is that Officer Billy Bad-Ass is LUCKY that the driver was not a bad guy. One would think that the first thing that should have happened is to identify ALL the occupants of the vehicle immediately, then obtain permission to search the vehicle. The way THIS incident was mishandled is an indication that both officers need some re-training before the Watch Commander and Chaplain make a surprise visit to someone's widow. I cincerely hope that the Canton Police Department take severe disciplinary action with both of the officers involved, and that the driver (victim) of this act files a lawsuit against the department and the two officers involved.

I'm so glad the time I was stopped for OC it wasn't like this. I have respect for LEO's but they can't be everywhere at once.

A lot went wrong on this stop.
Ohio is state that you have a duty to inform the police officer that you are carrying. The driver did not do it until well after he was out of the car. The first thing he should have done before the one officer went into the car was to tell him he had a permit. Even if the officer told him to be quiet he should have restated that he had a permit to carry. It's better go against the officer's command of being quiet then being shot.

The officer was VERY lucky that this guy wasn't a bad guy, he would have been dead when his head was turned searching the car.

The dispatch screwed up by missing the info that the driver had a carry permit.

The officer went overboard in taking out his anger on the driver. Yeah I would have been pissed too but no reason to be this verbally abusive.
