I bekieve its pretty unlikely that this would happen today. CHLers are morethan 2% of the population, Finding a CHL when pulling one over is not such a rare thing. Its been 11 years now and most LEOs understand what a CHL is by now.mshaw wrote: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....
