Does this "one more time" occur before or after you've told them they have the right to remain silent?If I'm making a custodial arrest, I ask them one more time before I transport.
Hmmm . . . any convictions, seeing as you're the one bringing them - and by extension, the contraband - into the penal institution? No responsibility on your part at all? Sweet . . .If they don't fess up to anything they have on them then, they get charged with the felony of bringing contraband into a penal institution.
I like to take my morning walks between two and four AM. Also, once in while, I ride through towns that don't take kindly to 'my type'.TexasSIGman said:I want to know what the heck you guys are doing that involves you being frisked so often?
Byron Quick said:I was taken in for a breathalyzer test at age 17. I was frisked befoe they put me in the squad car. No one asked if I was armed or possessed contraband. I volunteered the information that they had missed a large Barlow type knife. They took possession of it.
At the station, the breathalyzer result was 'less than detectable' according to the operator. So one of the officers informed me that I would be charged with carrying a concealed weapon. No prior record of convictions, arrests, or traffic stops.
