Wanted: info on police stops w/ CHL

On a USENET newsgroup, in a discussion about the phenomenon of
policemen not staying current with changes in the law, I brought
up the following problem:

- TX CHL holder, not currently carrying, is pulled over
for speeding or some similar infraction

- Because s/he's not carrying, the driver does not offer
the CHL when the cop asks for license and proof of
insurance

- Cop's computer comes back with info that the driver is
a CHL holder

- Cop reacts in some negative way (screaming at the
driver, hauling him/her out of the car for a pat-down,
issuing a ticket for the now-nonexistent crime of not
volunteering the license, etc.)

I have heard of at least one such incident, as described to the
class during my last renewal session. And I've been asked for a
cite.

Does anyone have a pointer to a news story or the like describing
such an incident?

Thanks in advance....
