A PA State Trooper came to my house today to check out one of my friends and my vehicles (we do volunteer security sometimes and we have vehicles that suit our needs) I have a Jeep Cherokee and my buddy has a Crown Vic. We have yellow and white lights that we use when we pull security (its a deterrent for people to notdo things they aren't supposed to) Also my vehicle is marked Caution K-9 and with a number 15 (my call sign number for on the radio) Anyways, that being said to set the story... The Trooper came up to the door and rang the door bell, he asked if he could ask Josh and I some questions about our vehicles (as there have been some idiots impersonating police officers here lately). We were both OCing when he came up. SO of course we were happy to answer any questions he had. He saw that we had firearms and proceeded to ask if we had LTCF's which we did show. He did not however look like he was at all concerned that we were carrying. The reason that I am posting this is because I notice that very few people post anything about Peace Officers actually being professional or polite. I thought that this Trooper handled the situation well and wanted to share it with the others here perhaps it will helpprove tosomeone who is worried about being harassed that not every LEO encounter is a bad one.
