That's exactly what I was thinking. Calls to mind the recent problem at the airport in New York where firearm serial numbers were "obscured" by paint.With all the painting you did was the serial number covered? Is that really what this charge is about?
He than says "you gonna give me some ID?" I start to say no again asking what crime i was suspected of and he grabs my right wrist twisting it around and turning me around.
I've heard that close to 40% of arrests by the police are not prosecuted,...
What you post here can be used against you in court. By posting it - a slimey DA can argue you have "admitted guilt" in a public forum.
Also, I know for a fact that some cops have hi-tech scanners that can detect firearms inside of a dwelling or a vehicle..
There are scanners (thermo) that can detect under some circumstances whether or not a gun is being held. Don't know of any that will simply detect the presence of one independently - they don't give off that many roentgens. :uhoh:And who makes those scanners .... have a manufacture name and model #? Interested to know.
Ah yes, forgot your background, to which I defer.Roentgens do not 'follow' "thermo." Thermo is not ionizing radiation for which roentgens are an obsolete unit.

Still don't see LEA as having that capacity routinely.

I understand the license plate recognition thing, but that has nothing to do with technology of scanning a building for guns.Our leos have vehicles that take in, process, and make a log of all licence plates around the vehicle. It does this automatically and pops up information on said vehicles/owners. It searches everyone...
The applicable Colorado statue - Colo. Rev. Stat. §16-3-103(1) - reads,
"Stopping of suspect. (1) A peace officer may stop any person who he reasonably suspects is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a crime and may require him to give his name and address, identification if available, and an explanation of his actions. A peace officer shall not require any person who is stopped pursuant to this section to produce or divulge such person's social security number. The stopping shall not constitute an arrest."

You guys are lucky, those rulings don't apply in Georgia due to a recent appallingly bad court decision.Of course Terry vs Ohio and DeBerry vs US would still apply. A holstered firearm does not constitute reasonable suspicion or probable cause of a crime.
The problem y'see is that there isn't a statute in the Colorado code for "Not Respectin' an Officer's Authoritah."
The charges will be nolle prosequi'd (at least if the county solicitor is any good.)
To prove the case the state will have to prove that the numbers are unreadable. Not unreadable in a dark room with a blindfold, but unreadable and non-recoverable.
I've heard that close to 40% of arrests by the police are not prosecuted, if it's true I think the police would be aware of it, don't you? So they're either doing extremely shoddy police work, or they're making arrests they know aren't good enough but just don't care.
