Approximately 40 min. ago I was stopped on Route 9 ID central Connecticut University police, the police officer said that I was brandishing a firearm I was riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a tank top on. I was going approximately 65 miles an hour or whatever the speed limit happens to be on that road and he said that my firearm was not covered when I drove by him. He pulled me over and told me I was being detained, for brandishing a firearm. I gave him my registration for my motorcycle and my license, as he demanded it, he told me I was being pulled over for brandishing a firearm and demanded to see my permit and I told him he had no right to ask me for my permit because I was doing nothing illegal. Another officer pulled up and they held me for approximately 15 to 20 min., Illegally detaining me. They finally let me go and told me that I need to cover up my firearm that I cannot carry it open. my H&K firearm was returned. I told him as a former Marine he saw my Marine tattoo I was coming from the Iwo Jima Memorial to pay tribute to my fallen brothers, the forefathers of my training. One of the first things he said to me is you got a be a cop I said no I'm not a cop , at that point you could see his demeanor changed and he got really upset and I just Mykept my hands on the handlebar.
other than the initial interaction I shot the whole incident on my iPhone camera in crystal-clear clarity and them telling me that I need to cover-up and that I am breaking the law and they simply enforce the law I engaged him and said that you were not enforcing the law because you weren't there is no law saying I have to conceal, and I have the whole incident on my iPhone camera, asking him if he thought it was reasonable to stop me because my covers were flapping while riding a motorcycle in that is that even reasonable, and whether I was open carrying or close carrying was of no relevance because I can carry any which way I want.
I'm definitely pleading not guilty on this one!
I need some assistance in some recommendations to move forward with this this is definitely a huge problem I got stopped coming from Marine Monument, on Memorial Day because I was riding a motorcycle in the CCS you officer on the highway saw my firearm. I feel totally demeaned right now.
