If someone from your home calls 911 to report domestic violence in the house (not toward you, but toward another resident in your home), do you think you have the right to tell the officer that he has to leave his firearm in the car while he conducts his investigation?

Are you serious, or trolling?

Doesn't requesting that a peace/police officer come to investigate a crime or give an official disposition imply that they want the officer to perform his duties in an official manner?

Which is covered by a ton of RCW's under LEO exemptions?

Not necessarily all of the time, given the example that I posted above.

Or in a case where the business or private residence itself is under investigation, and the officer(s) have reasonable cause or a warrant.

I was thinking along the lines of "I called 911 because I came home and someone's in my house, please help," and then trying to file a lawsuit because I didn't want the police officer to be armed in my home, even though I specifically requested aid from the police?

That's an obvious one, but I'm using other examples as well, such as the case of the other individual living in your home filing a domestic violence report, and then you, the home owner/head of household, telling them no, you can't enter unless you disarm.

That makes sense. Good food for thought.

I think it would be a hoot if they met at a neutral site and the whole crowd was armed: cops, attorneys, defendants, everyone.

I will say that I respect their right to restrict their office. I think they are looney, but that's the great thing about this country - looney away if you want to.

Well it is traditional and expected OCDO behavior to provide citations to buttress one's arguments.

I don't know why we would suspend the rules just for this thread . . . .

again: :rolleyes:

I'm not really sure where the RCW is that states that police officers are required to be armed at all times while they are on duty.

At such a point, would a responding officer then be under any legal obligation to continue responding to the 911 call?

I suppose I should have said "conducting an investigation".
