That is it in a nutshell! Whether the issue is CW exposure, one beer on your breath, the speed limit or the perceived tone of your verbal response to his question or whatever, the arresting LEO makes the call and you make the appeal.

That would not be a problem if the PD/CIty picked up the tab for all legal fee's and missed work etc.... unless you are found guilty. I think this would help stop alot of the police using that as an excuse to harass people.

I would like to see the laws for failure to conceal made very clear so it is truly you meant to show it. A shirt riding up etc should not be an issue like it was for handog. Intentional failure to conceal is like you pulled it out or wore a t-shirt tucked in behind your weapon.
