Having the serial #'s run on your concealed carry weapon

[tarosean]

Guessin' all the cops in Mississippi aren't as compassionate or enlightened as Sparta's Chief Gillespie and Det. Tibbs...

I cannot be the only one who started singing the theme song???

Uh....NO.


The illusion continues.

I don't know how old you are but my SSI card states right on the front NOT TO BE USED FOR IDENTIFICATION if you have a card that old then you probably have been around for awhile.

lol, I still have the original card and information paper it was staple to in original envelope from 1960's.

Around 2004 or 2005 my travel to a client location about twenty miles away was interrupted by THREE police stops, in three different towns, checking the DL/Insurance/Registration/Inspection on all cars. At first my thought was they were "looking for someone" yet that was not the case. No cars were being waved through.

Needless to say, being in multiple HUGE vehicle waiting lines made me very late for the client appointment.
Doing a quick U-turn at any would have been ill-advised because that would have invited greater delay.
It is a police technique that is thankfully falling out of widespread use since it impacts so many decent people.

Yes it would be on my record. It can be expunged of course but at my age(69), i won't be applying for any new job positions. I haven't really looked into it yet.

That sucks. I would imagine when an LEO sees that, they immediately come to an incorrect conclusion about you that might cause them to treat you far different compared to someone who did not have an arrest record....especially one dealing with a stolen firearm.

What kind of F'n Bull crap is a Driver's License inspection point? That seems like an big infringement on peoples' rights.

Driving is not a right.

So the police are free to F with you because you're driving down the road...

Yes, for about 37 states, in the sense that they can if they stop every driver coming through the checkpoint, absolutely. They stop truckers at weigh stations all the time. There are also Border checkpoints within 100 miles of the border where they check vehicles as well.

In Texas, they are not legal, nor are DWI checkpoints, but interior border checkpoints, weigh stations, etc. certainly are legal here.

Again, driving is not a right.

I live in Michigan, have traveled to maybe 20 other states and only once ever was pulled off at a checkpoint. It was some state out east, coming home from Maine. It was a sobriety checkpoint as I recall. I don't think they do that in Michigan at all at least has not happened to me here in my 47 years of driving.

Oh, just remembered. It seems I had to stop once entering Florida at a agricultural checkpoint. Guess they didn't want us bringing forbidden fruit into the state.

Seems to me that sobriety checkpoints used to be much more common than they are now. However, that could be because I hardly ever go out late at night these days ...

Checkpoints are unconstitutional. I don't care what court ruling allowed them, they're wrong. Courts have been wrong before.
I won't go through one, ever. I turn around. Want to come pull me over? Go ahead. If everyone did the same, they wouldn't exist.

Agree. Then to extrapolate, is it even constitutional to require one submit to apply for a driver's license?

I agree with you. This works in theory if e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e does it without fail and nearly simultaneously.

What would happen in real/practical terms is that *something* would undoubtedly be found wrong with your DL, your insurance, your registration, your inspection sticker, your vehicle, your "careless" u-turn, or whatever.

One area where I will hold firm is asking to see inside my trunk or other places in my vehicle. At that point it is worth calling in sick at work so they can jump through hoops getting a search warrant to peer into an empty trunk.
