On another note, my LEO CHL instructor actually told me that their system will show a CHL alert if the car is registered to a CHL holder. He specifically said that some of his buddies who are anti-CHL make it a practice to sit by the side of the road and run tags. Then, when they see a CHL holder, they will follow until they have a reason to stop the person, hoping to fluster them into not showing their CHL

I was using the term "profiled" a bit tongue in cheek. I'm pretty sure that he chose to pull me over because my license tag showed a "CHL" flag in his computer.

No such "tag" on vehicle registrations. Only comes back on a DL/ID return.

Disagree, especially when being lied to. It is a basic response that often is better than being berated for lying. It doesn't require above average intellect to detect deception.

In reading this, I understand you disapprove of proactive policing?

I made no such determination...just an intentionally worded speculation:

Also, perhaps the officer, in his years of experience of people lying to the cops, detected your deception - this might be an insight into his demeanor during the stop.

By that same token, perhaps he was a Railroad police officer, a game warden, or a specially appointed investigator for the region District Attorney's office?

Unprofessional?? Hmm....how?
I could see curt, or short, but unprofessional seems a stretch.

To the OP, how were you profiled?
