LEO question: Police asked for my gun "paperwork?"

[NCPatrolAR]

Sounds like you were pulled by an interdiction unit.

Off the subject but what part of WI are you headed to? Is this a permanent move? Hope you brought some warmer clothes along.

I'm going to be living in Mildeton.

And what do you mean warmer clothes? I have jeans and sweater for winter?

Assuming you meant Middleton, that's awfully close to Madison but I guess it's still better than CA.

Congrats on your move.

Maybe since he saw you were from Kali he assumed you should have some such "paperwork" from the authoritahs there for said weapons? Granted, it wasn't in his jurisdiction even if you WERE required by Kali law to have paperwork....it would be irrelevant in Nevada.



Good luck freezing your ass off!

Hey, at least you're out of Kali!

YOUR PAPERS,SIR?

sent from mah gun,using my sights

Sounds to me like your rights are under attack if he admitted you did nothing wrong. I don't buy the going to slow bit.

So a cop asks a few questions and then lets dude go qualifies as his rights being under attack. Wow! A little paranoid are we? Haha

After the questions he says I can go, walks about the distance to my rear wheel, then stops comes back and asks: "Oh yeah, did I tell you why I pulled you over?"

I said no, he said I was driving too slow in the fast lane. I know for a fact my speedometer said 78-80MPH. It was a 75 Interstate.

The officer should be given a raise post haste! I hate all the drivers from CA who hibernate in the fast lane while barely doing the speed limit on I-15 between Vegas & CA! He should've given you a ticket for impeding the passing lane. NRS 484B.627 states (b) If the highway has two or more clearly marked lanes for traffic traveling in the direction in which the driver is traveling, drive in the extreme right-hand lane except when necessary to pass other slowly moving vehicles.

I guess he knew I was being honest. He could have searched car. I wouldn't care but it would have took an hour again to restuff it with all my crap

Why could he have searched the car? Would you acquiesce to his request to search the car or are you thinking that a search wouldn't fall under the 4th Amendment because you admitted to having firearms in the vehicle?

[Iraqgunz]

Were you stopped in NV? I also fail to see how he could have searched your vehicle unless you allow it.

Also, you are not required to notify law enforcement of firearms when stopped (last I checked) so I don't know why you would have done this.

I have read nothing about giving "papers" to LEO as far as NFA stuff goes.

Only ATF agents can request.

Sme guys ask me if cops ever hassle me about my rifles.....to be honest, the majority of LEOs don't even know what they are in the first place....let alone what paperwork goes along with them.

Edit: I do not think you can be arrested for denying paperwork if asked by LEO.
