Stopped in Dearborn Heights

imported post

Standing on my own front porch, a DH officer drove buy looking at me. He did a quick turn around stop in front and got out of the car with his flashers going. I met him on the sidewalk.

He asked if my handgun was real, I said of coarse. He asked for ID, said my wallet was in the house. He said nevermind and ran my name from the address.

Then he got out of the car and knocked on door and said have a nice day and we shock hands.

Well that's kinda odd.

If you didn't give him permission to look you up, and if he didn't have reasonable articulateable suspicion to believe you were about to or had comitted a crime, it was unlawful for him to run your info. If you didn't give him permission, I suggest a complaint to the MSP for unlawful LEIN access.

Does the fact the he said his wallet was in the house be stretched to say he was going to get his wallet and stretched even farther as giving consent to look him up?

I know that wasn't the intent but just wondering if it could be used that way.

This is why I state " Officer I am exercising my legal right to Open Carry in defense of my self & other law abiding citizens" Then straight into: Wash, Rinse, Repeat. Whenever I carry I've got my recorder going there's nothing better than someones own words to clarify what really happened.

Was this a bogus stop & LEIN? Sure sounds like it so far. This will eventually end "I hope" in the next year or so as more knowledge gets out on OC. There will always be a rouge cop or two but even they will get it after being sued for violating the civil rights of law abiding citizens!

Ok - I will hop down off my Soap box now. Thanks for letting me rant. :banghead:
