Hi ODCO,
As the title says, I was at a Starbucks (not practicing UOC) in Concord last night when 6 Concord PD officers came in to get coffee (go figure).
While 2 of them were waiting for their Java I walked over and greeted them and asked what their policy on 12031(e) was? One of the officers quickly replied, "Well, It's the law." To which I politely replied, "...Of course, but what is the policy in Concord on how to handle encounters in the field with a person practicing UOC."
At this point the officer went into what sounded like a fairly rehearsed polite litany of reasons (mostly about officer safety) why he did not agree with UOC while ending with "...but it is your right, and I don't want to take away anyone's rights." There was mention of being drawn down on, and "...you'll likely be treated like a criminal until proven otherwise." :shock:
My family was in a bit of a rush, so I could not continue very long with the several minute conversation, but I never did get a real explanation of the department policy in Concord on how officers should handle encounters with UOC'ers.
Oh well :?
