Has anyone had any incounters with Detroit police while Open carring? If so what happened.
As this advice can't be Detroit-specific, I must ask: Why two recorders?
I read on here carry a recorder all the time. To me this sounds like paranoid carriers. If you are carring legal, doing nothing your not suppose to do, you should have no worries. If your that worried, maybe you shouldnt carry. Seems the same as putting in a video camera in your car to see if your speeding.

I think you need to browse these forums a little more.
I routinely carry a gun. It is not out of paranoia, it is for protection.

Just as we are aware of the possible physical dangers in our "society," for which we carry a gun, we are aware of the possible legal dangers from those "enforcing the law." Just as the vast majority of citizens present us no physical danger, so the vast majority of LEOs present us no legal danger. However, we still carry the gun for the remote possibility that someone means us physical harm, and we carry a recorder for the remote possibility that a LEO means us legal harm.
However remote these eventualities are, we know that they do happen and have even happened to some of us. I, for one, was harassed for several hours by a Montgomery police officer who was ignorant of OC law and the restrictions of his power when he had no RAS of a crime. I wish I'd had a recorder. I now carry one all the time.
Some folks don't carry a gun until they've been attacked. Before carrying the gun, they might've called carriers "paranoid." After being attacked, they realize that a simple bit of preparation for a very real contingency is wisdom, not paranoia.
I hope that you are never legally attacked by a LEO. If you are, I hope that you have decided that carrying that bit of electronic protection is not paranoia, but wisdom.
I called myself paranoid.And people carry for 16 years without being attacked. Should they stop carrying a gun because they have never been attacked?
Anyway, the analogy is out there. I hope someone reads it and gets it.
If you don't, I just hope you stop insulting people by calling them paranoid.
Moving on.
...The day I am paranoid that I have to carry a recorder to carry my gun legally, is the day I stop carring.
