No, Louisiana is NOT becoming more gun friendly. What ever gave you that idea?
Bobby Jindal is but just another in an endless series of persons to occupy the mansion on the lake. As long as people who run the sheriff's offices and police departments know there's no immediate repercussions to their criminal misbehavior, it'll be business as usual in THE POLICE STATE OF LOUISIANA.
That's nice to say. It's different to have your laws changed so your rights are respected. You have a better opportunity to DO something about it...I'm asking what you're going to DO.Louisiana already has a constitution which clearly defines the right to bear arms, yet that right is not universally honored by Louisiana "law enforcement." Another law would be equally violated. What is needed is the ability of violated citizens to prosecute these rogue cops. Being able to walk into a grand jury room, present evidence/testimony to the grand jury and obtain an indictment and conviction is the answer. But, under current Louisiana law, even if you obtain an indictment, the DA's have the discretion as to whether or not prosecution occurs. THAT is the problem there.
THANK YOU. That is what I have BEEN trying to get across for years. All the laws in the world are useless unless there's some way to get them honored/enforced. Yep, that's not likely to happen in THE POLICE STATE OF LOUISIANA any time soon.As corupt as the LEOs and DA's are in this state, especially around New Orleans, it's hard to DO anything without it being thrown out.
Sounds like your car is illegal. What is blacked out, Your windows? We have a tint law. One headlight and loud car, you are lucky he hasn't busted you.Well, in this area, I can see why they would pull over every person with a busted headlight, just to check them out. That's how most of the big drug busts are done. But doing it to the same person, 3 times in one week, (same officer mind you) is pretty stupid. He even knew I was military, and called me by name on the third stop without checking my ID, so he knew who I was. I have a pretty noticable car (01 Trans Am blacked out, and loud), I'm not sure if he was just being a dick, or was trying to get me to replace my headlight, but I'm not the only person this has happened to, and it needs to stop.
tint is within legal limit, tailight blackouts (which aren't illegal because you can clearly see the brake lights when lit up)and there is no noise limit unlessthere is a posted noise ordinance, which there is not. Working night shift and having to sleep during the day prevented me from getting to the autoparts store for a week. (all this was explained to the officer.)The fact that he knowingly pulled me over 3 times in the same week, knowing that i wouldn't be able to replace it until the following week, IMO, is harrassment, unless he was going to give me a ticket.
Why wouldn't you just fix your headlight instead of blaming the officer for pulling you over for the same violation not once or twice but three times? If people would simply fix their vehicles up to code that wouldn't be that big of an issue don't you think?Well, in this area, I can see why they would pull over every person with a busted headlight, just to check them out.

i really think that all the cops and judges in this state should be fired, and replaced with new ones everytwo years. In the span oftwo years, the Mafia (yeah, that's right, the Mafia)wouldn't have such a hold on them like they do now.
But that's not gonna happen, becuase it's not possible. Bobby Jindal needs to start hunting down the Mafia in this state and tearing it apart, that's what's gonna help this state become more honest and less POLICING.
I can understand pulling people over to check records for warrants and make sure they aren't trafficking drugs on a major drug route into New Orleans, but when you do it to the same car, three times in one week, and give the same bull@#$% excuse for pulling them over, that's taking it too far, and you need better things to do with your time. Let's stop harrassing good citizens who aren't causing any harm, and start arresting murderers, drug dealers, rapists, and THE CORRUPT PEOPLE IN THIS GOVERNMENT.
