Yeah, but it's only "in plain sight" because he or she forced you to put it in plain sight. Before the officer started telling you what to do, said gun was concealed and not in plain sight.Jumping Frog wrote:He does not need reasonable suspicion or probable cause at all if the serial number is in plain sight.

This is no different than if he looks in your car window and sees a gallon baggies filled with marijuana. He does not need reasonable suspicion or probable cause when the dope is right there in plain sight.

How so? Did the gun make them commit said traffic offense?n5wd wrote:Because it is an inquiry persuant to investigating a traffic offense.george wrote:Anytime I have asked a LEO to "run a serial number" for me, they said they could not do that, unless part of an investigation.
If that is so, how can they just run the serial number for a traffic stop?
Now that is appropriate... Since you can't commit a traffic offense without driving, you must have driver's license. Similarly, you're required to have insurance to drive.n5wd wrote:As appropriate as running your DL and vehicle registration during a traffic stop.
