Are the recent open carry harassments using this as the method of legalizing their actions....they are on thin ice if so. They may be on thin ice but....The last 2 or 3 people on this forum who had the opportunity to file charges against the offending department DIDN'T do it. Instead they accepted an OPPS .we made a mistake.As long as there isn't a financial penalty placed on a police dept. they will carry on business as usual.. As long as they can do it they will do it.

I agree with your statement but you can not tell people how to handle their encounters with a law enforcement entity. If this happens to me I would insist at least with a face to face meeting with the head of the agency who's officers harassed me and then go from there.
