well after actually reading the article
" Somehow the renewal for his CCW was never put into the state computer system used by police to verify information."
So by their view
They see that in their computers that the CPL is not valid.
But they see a valid date on the CPL.
The computer is the way to VERIFY.
If someone wanted to make a fake CPL im sure they could, so they go by the computer.
Officer is holding a cpl that says it is valid but a computer that shows it is false.
They made the assumption the computer was correct.
I would also like to know the reason for the stop, but what I picked up was the guy was talking to his employees, so it was a group of people, and the police saw it and asked what they were talking about. Not sure why could be just curiosity, or seeing a group of people in front of a business but they did.
The man Disclosed that he was carrying a CPL, and gave it to the officers when asked to.
Which started the issue.
He was arrested for carrying without a valid CPL, according to the computer.
I think he will bring it to court
His CPL will be updated
The Charge will be removed from his record.
I don't really see a huge settlement because of the computer showing a wrong date.
Now if it had shown it WAS valid i think it would be a lot bigger than this is.
I do think it was a mistake, and I am not saying it was right but if the cops asked the man why his cpl says its valid but the computer does not, the man would have no idea and not have a good enough answer to keep from getting arrested.
The cops did their job after running the CPL. Prior to that, the stop, no one knows if that was a legit stop yet.
The Clerks office should get a lawsuit though and a settlement or award should be paid out for the inconvenience
Just my thoughts
