I would think twice before stop to help a trooper either. I'm sorry, but I don't need his trigger happy backup tazering me or worse thinking i'm the suspect.

Our LEO's here in texas have a better attitude than most, but I honestly don't know what I'd do.

Are you a DPS LEO or a Local Fort Worth LEO?

This thread is about the possibility of DPS Troopers being directed recently to "run" weapon serial numbers when they find them during traffic stops. This is something they never did in the past and therefore suspect to be a creation of a serial number database by the TXDPS for unknown purpose.

I got stopped by a DPS trooper on Saturday for no front plate, and going 6 over the limit. My wife has my radar detector, and I am really too used to driving in heavy traffic.

I was not required to surrender my weapon for a serial number inspection, or for "officer safety", and I got a warning. I probably should have gotten a ticket, but was lucky.

I really wonder whats going on here.

Tell me what can be done? In a situation like this it is the troopers word versus the person pulled over. There is no way the trooper will be seen as wrong so tell me what can be done? Go ahead and go to court with no proof and claim that the trooper pulled over the wrong person and see what happens.[/quote]

The deck is stacked against you, so why even try?

If more people thought like this, we'd still be an English colony, as would India.
