OT-Open Carry in Santa Fe
I know the driver was merely protecting his privacy in accordance with the "letter of the law". It
showed a terrific amount of forbearance for the officers to let him go, undetained. The overriding question is why did he refuse to present ID confirming his citizenship and thus confirming his right to carry? IMO, irrespective of "letter of the law", officers should have every right to demand ID when there is the slightest chance the driver might be a felon. Civil liberties run amuck at times. We should be ever vigilant not to extend them to felons. Bob Swinney .. |

We should be ever vigilant not to extend them to felons. "Papers, please" There is no law in the United States requiring everybody to carry ID, at least not yet. If there is a state law requiring citizens to identify themselves when requested by LE, then they have to identify themselves, at least verbally - full name and address. Absent such a state law, you do not have to identify yourself to a police officer. I do not know if NM has such a law. |

This twerp has an extreme case of "look at me, I'm special", baiting and aggrivating a cop by approaching a routine stop with a video camera while openly carrying a handgun. Within his legal rights? Probably. That doesn't make it excusable behavior. He needs a spanking. |

And I'd hate to see a bunch of young turks go out and duplicate this guy's performance. I predict pain. |

"I was expecting them to take him in because he was acting weird. I thought the cops were totally decent with that guy. Yep! Acting weird in front of the law is a pretty good symptom of a felon. Bob (if it looks, walks, like a duck . . .) Swinney |

He was hoping that he would get one of them to make a move on him so he could get his fifteen minutes of fame. I think that he'd do well to re-read the law. I believe that one is required to identify themselves to a police officer when asked. He sounded like a real moron. He'll wind up in jail or dead. Jim |

Probably. That doesn't make it excusable behavior. He needs a spanking. I don't have a problem with the guy walking around with a video camera and the gun on his hip. I do have issue with the gun in close proximity to the traffic stop. The cop doesn't need to have two people to keep track of 180 degrees apart. I don't know the law in New Mexico but generally LEO's are giving fairly wide lattitude when it comes to protecting themselves. The cop could have told the camera man where to stand, to drop the gun belt and stay put until the cop was done with the stop. It would have been interesting to see how that senario played out. We can't replay the event and change it by removing the gun and leaving the camera to see how it would play out. It would be interesting to see if they still wanted ID him. Of course, no camera, no gun is the senario I really want to know the answer to as far as how he is treated. The bottom line is, rights or not, give the cop a break, how about a bit of courtesy to a guy just trying to do his job and make it home alive each shift. Wes |
