UCW is a misdemeanor, and various Harris County LEOs arrest for it three to five thousand times a year. It generally is not reported. We have no idea how many people were persecuted this way.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that of the ten million or so people who are arrested each year in the U.S., everyone, including their defense attorneys, assumes that they are guilty. Nevertheless, from time to time, a situation is discovered like the one in Tulia several years ago, where dozens to hundreds of false arrests are made on the basis of intentionally falsified evidence. Don't even get me started about San Diego and Los Angeles.

According to my CHL instructor the FT Worth D.A. had instructed the LEOs to arrest for a weapon in the vehicle and no CHL. Next time I'm in the Bullet Trap I'll ask Dave if he can site any cases of it.
