Previously worked a method and agreement with the screeners, not to show ID, when checking weapon.
Then a few months ago, he said he was concerned about me keeping the key, so we came to another agreement that he would write down first name and number and discard the paper when I return the key.
Today, he got out a log book and wanted full name number etc., I told him I don't want to give him all that personal information, and asked about what happened to our other agreement, he lied and said he told me he would log me in every time. And also it makes him suspicious of why I wouldn't want to give him ( Olympia security) my personal information. I told him all he is getting is my first name and number and that I will take it up with his superiors, because they are not following state law.
As I was leaving he told me the new rule is I have to have ID now or leave my weapon in the car. I asked him I don't have ID and I didn't drive who would be responsible for me being arrested for missing my court date because they are not following the law. He started rambling about how I just can't bring anything to court blah blah blah, and told me I have to take it up with his boss, Mike who runs Whatcom county facilities because he talked to Mike and this is Mike's new rule from now on no ID no checking weapon.
I walked across the street to Mike's office he was out in a meeting in the courthouse.I left name and number to call me. He called and told me he can make stricter rules and if I don't have driver's license to go get a state ID. When I told him that the state is pretty clear on the process and that ID is not mandatory and I will not go get my "papers" he told me I would have to talk to county lawyer. I asked when he instituted this rule he said 10 years ago with advise from the county prosecutor. I asked "It was 10 years ago the prosecutor gave you that advice" was accused of twisting his words and that it was irrelevant. I told him no it wasn't because , the time line is important to me clarifying when and who gave him that advice.
Called prosecutors office they seemed a little bit more willing to discuss the situation, and a actually concerned that because of my love of the 4th amendment and me not willing to be coerced into giving up my lawful method of carry, might cost me due process and a warrant for my arrest if I missed court. They asked how soon I need to be back and will research the issue. Wish me luck, and any talking points for the prosecutor is appreciated.
I have another post to make it's been a busy day.
