+1 for the ISP Trooper near Anderson

[Fedempl]

Was on my way home from visiting my mother in Eastern Indiana today when I was pulled over by the ISP on the Muncie bypass for speeding. He came up to the car stated that I was speeding, but, I was in his warning zone.

I gave him my registration, DL and LTCH. He asked If I had a gun in the car, I informed him it was in the center console. He asked me what kind, I told him Glock 19, he said great gun.

He told me to leave it there, handed me back my LTCH and went to his car. Came back a couple of minutes later, stated he was giving me a warning, told me to be careful and have a nice weekend.

Absolutely no problem, very professional. I plan on writing the ISP and giving him some kudos.

for this Trooper.

First day of the month. He has a while to fill his quota still

You showed him your Cleavage - Didn't you?

I can't believe that old trick still works.

LOL!!

I didn't know troopers had "warning zones".

Glad it was a good encounter! and you sir, are lucky you didn't get a nice ticket!

Not sure why you showed him your LTCH for a car related stop.Did he ask for it?
Just curious.

According to Washington, I think, the presentation of the LTCH should end all conversations concerning the firearm.

Someone correct me if I got it wrong.

You left out the part where he told you to get out of the car, shoved you to the ground and held you there with a jack boot to the face. Wouldn't be ISP without the jack boot to the face.


In related news... +1 to the LEO.

Am I the only person stopped for not breaking the law?

No you're not.
That's the price we have to pay for being very handsome.

No, I know someone

Ok, for you, maybe but this does not explain me.

No, I know someone

Yes, of course, how can I forget someone who has the Indiana Senate mad at him as well as entire police departments . . . all for obeying the law.

Even when citizens are obeying the law we still make our rulers mad. *sigh*

As far as I know no one is mad at me

I've only been pulled over twice for speeding and got a ticket both times....what is your secret??? lol. Sounds like it was an all around good stop for you. Did you happen to notice if he was also carrying a Glock? You might of got some Glock brotherhood sympathy there.

You're wrong. You're thinking of Richardson. Washington is no searches of unoccupied vehicles for a firearm of someone with a valid LTCH.

This is the way all stops should be. Just polite conversation about the gun, if they're talked about at all, but no "When in doubt, prone them out." B.S.

A written warning counts against the trooper's required number of 'contacts'. Packaging it as such is how they claim with a straight face that they do not have a quota on tickets, although I personally doubt it would go over very well if he turned in a couple hundred warning tickets at the end of the month.

Thanks, I always mix em up.

I gave it to him out of courtesy.
