now now deputy, there's no need to get outraged, I know I read on here where he also said there where good ones. Now I assume your not one of the bad ones, because it makes you angry. But try look at it from our shoes,OK? Think back before you were service in the dept. , how exactly did you feel about LEO's most of my bad encounters however have been by city police, deputy's pretty much leave you alone, its usually city police picking on the good ole citizen just cause they can. I actually have a few friends who are deputy's and there actually cool, I have NO friends who are police officers. " Law Enforcement" to enforce and uphold the law, Peace Officer- there's no such thing in any depts. except for constables, those guys are considered the peoples police. And actually Constable's is were the word COPS came from.
Now I'm going to ask you a pretty normal question coming from a citizens standpoint would you try to get a regular legit law biding citizen open-carry for trying to impersonate a officer if they were wearing a badge that said authorized to open carry? I remember reading this somewhere else on here in the open carry blogs or forms whatever these are called. Now I'm pretty damn sure you probably know the laws a bit better then local police , cause your training is a bit more on the law and physical standards as well. But if I were to get a custom badge that was engraved on it authorized to open carry, and I got arrested per say, that would be thrown out the court for sure. Impersonation of a LEO goes way beyond just a badge, you would have to address yourself as a LEO, the badge would have to say something like deputy or police on it, your car would probably be outfitting with quite a few strobes and lets not forget the duty belt. Just wondering, whats your opinion on this subject from a realistic stand point. And the only reason I bring it up is because usually OC'ing citizens are constantly harassed , arrested, charged with some sort of foolish misdemeanor, and then of course any LEO has the right to pull your permit to carry,hmmmm. So anyways reply back when your not on duty and you have some spare time, I would love to here what you have to say on the matter.
