Traffic stops often result in tickets and fines, which make up a large chunk of revenue for city or county. Cops are pressured one way or another to produce revenue, although this fact is usually denied. Also, traffic stops and tickets are indicators that cops are performing. Having worked at a county jail, I've observed that when its raining hard, they don't arrest people. This is also true during bowl games, playoffs,etc.
Locally, we have a good police force. Be careful in the small towns because they frequently concentrate on issuing traffic tickets.
Often traffic stops result in drug busts, especially on I-35.

Thank you for your reply. You made valid points. One thought is that there still remain gray areas about chl issues, and hopefully these will clear up before too long.
About attorneys: the client should be prepared to spend thousands of dollars to present a case that would otherwise not bring in big bucks.
Changing the subject, we need to remember that to defend oneself in criminal and/ or civil court for choosing to use deadly force will be so costly that financial ruin is almost guaranteed. Careers can be damaged or lost because of negative publicity. Going to prison is another possibility. I say this here because all of us must remain aware of potential pitfalls that may face us.

About unlawful searches...some--maybe many--occur because of officer error caused by poor training. Administrator or managerial incompetence, low morale, low pay, and low hiring standards all impact this issue. My opinion is that these negatives are more likely to be found in a large constable department than in any other LE group. Deputy constables occupy the bottom rung on the ladder.
If it were me, my concern would be to bring this error to a supervisor so these guys would know better next time. Remember that supervisors, especially those that are desk bound, dread complaints or lawsuits because they reflect negatively on their leadership.
Carrying an expired chl shouldn't be an issue. Doesn't such info show up when tag numbers are run?
