Help with FB discussion
There's a video making its way around FB recently that I got into it with some other posters about. Motorist is pulled over for a taillight out. Officer comes to drivers window, asks motorist if he has any weapons. Motorist replies in the affirmative. Not sure, but I think he told the officer he had a LTCF in his state. Motorists wife is very loud, causing issues. Officer asks motorist to step out of the vehicle for his (officers) safety. Motorist refuses, citing the fact that his weapon is being carried legally plus the fact that his son is in the rear seat. Wife is NOT helping, getting loud. Long story short , motorist ends up getting forcibly removed from the vehicle.
As can be expected, several comments were left on FB, all stating that "he should just obey". I dissented, and stated that I did not think the officer had cause to remove the motorist as he did. I was told this is "established case law", and one poster informed me he would be waiting for me to admit I was wrong. Am I?Don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff.

Disclaimer: haven't seen the video in question, just going off the description...
Personally, removing the wife would be my first thought, as she is actually interfering with the traffic stop. That said, I also do not think the officer had cause to remove the driver. *THAT* having been said, I would not be admitting error until someone provided a citation to said "established case law".
With all of the above in mind, the better part of valor is discretion...

Re: Help with FB discussion
no problem. officer says to get you get out.
you have two choices,get out on your own or officer helps you.
officer turns you around and takes your ccw, you say please be careful with that.
...................skip to the end. you now have a summons for a tail light and hopefully your ccw.
NOW you comely turn to your wife and ask her to call the lawyer that you have.

Re: Help with FB discussion
In an ideal world, the wife calling lawyer makes sense, but in this case (barring other info like the video link), she seems to exacerbate the situation. My #1 advice to OP is to get your dog gone wife under control if: 1. You're carrying a weapon, and 2. She's in the vehicle with you. Or maybe it's her plan all along for how to collect the insurance money ASAP.

Re: Help with FB discussion
Call me a pussy but I treat any and all police with respect, even if/when they are dead wrong. I might win something in the long term but the short term is most likely a loss on my part. He's the boss and I'm the serf, as stated above, address any improprieties later. As for any an all passengers in the car STFU!
