Put a sticker over your serial number. GunLaywer suggests according to Hicks that some sort of (hogwash?) plain view doctrine applies after a Terry confiscation of a firearm that has in the past allowed or can potentially allow some courts to rule that running a serial number was okay without any probably cause of a stolen firearm.

Carry and have accessible a gun safe that you can quickly drop an arm into and lock, which you can do while driving before pulling over (perhaps at the same time as calling 911 to verify the car attempting to pull you over is a real cop), or to do similarly when asked to be separated from a firearm. Make sure if asked to leave the vehicle that you intercept the situation and create a situation where you can lockbox the arm so that it can't be illegally run through the non-databases.

We can't let unchecked police power go on and until we have things changed on the grand level, work within the petit level to prevent the executive from abusing their power.
