Didn't see this anywhere yet. Hope it sheds a light of how things could go. This is not to be a cop bashing or discussion thread. Purely for educational as stated in their, (recorders),cause.

 

IDK why but I find these videos obnoxious. I think its great that their state has clear laws regarding firearms. I work and pray for the day my family and I can live some where like that. 

That was a cool cop. I do have to say these people who are making these videos get to be annoying. If the cop is being completely cool, just do what they are nicely asking! They make it so difficult and really their just showing that they are a$$holes in my opinion (talking about guys carrying NOT the cop)

I don't like Warren and his friends

The guy used a typical tactic that parents use. "My xxxxxxx is WAY cooler than yours!"

It's a tough choice there. The cop could very well be a firearm enthusiast. But whatever you can can be used against you. If your going out there just to attract police the thing to do would be to give nothing up. No info that isn't required. But if you are really just walking down the road with your rifle and a cop asks you then that's your call. If a cop or gw approaches me while hunting I unload my firearm as soon as I see them approaching. Just seems like a situation I wouldn't put myself in. But I'm not against people doing it.

The key thing here is, (and I don't want this thread to turn into a love/hate thing as mentioned guys, so please), is that he said to them, they can walk away and tell him nothing. Not one video I've seen similar did the le ever give that option.
And yes, I'd want to see his if I showed him mine and don't make that a phalic statement!

I wonder if they were prepared to get arrested?

 

Can I not do something like that here in Jersey? Aren't I legally allowed to carry a NJ legal rifle as long as it is unloaded? Not that I would do it, I am just wondering. Even if it is legal I bet I would get arrested.

Waste of the officers time.....

This one's even better:

IMO there is no real point in this, and if anything will make non gun owners who watch this more anti. Alarming the locals and acting like children just makes us look stupid and irresponsible, and may prompt legislation against open carry where it is allowed.

You think so? These guys apparently had a lot of people honking in support. Guys this is not NJ where you put your pee pee between your legs and go hide in the closet because you own a gun...

well said.. I dont care where this happened.. Explain to your 5 year old when youre going into town for an ice cream not to be alarmed when they see a guy walking through town with an AR on his back.. Theres no purpose for it.. You wanna carry a handgun for protection..by all means do it.. But this isnt a scene from Red Dawn..

the old saying....

 

Just Because You Can...... Does Not Mean You Should......

Waste of the officers time.....

Completely agree

Tired of these videos.  Lets do something so out of the ordinary that we invite attention, then videotape us acting beligerent when confronted!  All these guys are trying to do is make cops look bad and post video of some douche getting one over on them.

 

IMHO, the way to make OC a more normal and accepted activity is to do it more often, and be courteous and polite with any police encountered.  Show ID, let the cop inspect the rifle, etc etc.  Over time, the confrontation HOPEFULLY would become just a quick formality, then just a wave and a nod.  Looking for confrontation with a camera isn't fostering any constructive change.

Another Warren video?

Absolutely fantastic and best officer encounter i've seen. 

These little nerds are annoying

The whole point of this thread was the handling of the scenario which is/was quite good. Yea, they are annoying twerps; yea, they probably had no real toys when they were kids, but the handling of the situation by the officer was fantastic. There may have been another side to this from the officers perspective regarding you show me yours, I'll show you mine. We were taught way back when as well as I'm sure they do today, to interact with the people in your jurisdiction. Try to be friends. Do not overstep your authority, condescend, etc., etc.. Some officers did and others didn't.  I've been down both roads. I've had kids call me a pig, spit on me, call me everything in the book when I tried to interact with them. You hold it in and walk away. Then you biotch at your LT how much that route doesn't always work. Other times I was accepted like one of the guys. Visions of uniforms were invisible and our chatter was nothing about law. Basketball, the Yankees, etc... Just common everyday conversation.

 

I've seen multiple threads here over time that always ended up trashing the LEO. Well, here we have one that tried to stay level. Outside of the original call; he was pleasant, easy to talk to, kept his composure through the whole charade. Gave them an easy opt out which he did not have to do. He wasn't a dick by no means. Rather than pick this video apart, try  to look at the bright side of things how stuff could be handled...Kind of like credit due for a change... Depending on the area, as you've seen in the past, this video could have taken a major wrong turn.

 

So thumbs up to Officer Jim!

I agree. I would assume most of the situations with cops doing the right thing in handling a situation doesn't make it to the web cause that's not what people want to see.

 

Its when everyone looks at YouTube like its a documentary the issue begins.

He was very professional. I just can't stand those kids.

Oh my god.....

 

Those kids kept on trying to corner him.....

 

You know what I got out of this.......

 

LEO has the new Chevy Caprice Squad car...... very cool, those things are badass..... 

Very choice....

Oh my god.....

we hwve a few new caprices. Look great, fast as shit but tight in the front seat

Even though I feel these guys are free to exercise their rights (assuming they were following local/state laws), that policeman was very professional and patient. They seemed bent on trying to lead him into some type of confrontation. His job is probably tough enough without dealing with that. If I had any criticism it would be the shorts, but it's probably hot where he is.

Oh my god.....
