Holding dear their rights. Yea, it pisses the government off too. I think most of the time they are needlessly doing what they do, but I support their right to do it. "Randomly" video taping a cop, should they be arrested for that? No. Refusing to give ID where it is not warranted, should they be arrested for that? No.
I have to problem producing ID. I do have problems with "Law-enforcement" demanding ID where I do not have any obligations to though.
Plenty would say that all of us, as OC'ers are "provoking" an officer. It is a dangerous road to go down to start enforcing opinions. You will find no support for that view here.
I am almost scared to get involved with this conversation.. i said "almost"..
I have wondered the same thing at times.. it isnt the community as a whole.. but some people do go a bit paranoid when it comes to OC...
I do not watch for a LEO reaction.. i do not carry a recording device... even when OC.. I feel like if I need to carry a recording device when OC then I should carry one 24/7 when I am doing other legal activities.. just in case a LEO feels a reason to hassle me for driving my car legally..
Bottom line.. OC is legal.. it is no different than walking down the street... eating pizza.. drinking a coke.. or talking to your neighbor
We as a whole do catch a little extra attention when OC because it isn't normal.. and the recording devices have come in handy in situations.. it is a matter of personal opinion and choice that I respect just as I respect someone's personal choice to carry or to not carry.
If I wanted to color my hair blue I wouldn't feel the need to carry one, so I don't when OC or CC.. just my personal choice
