CHL could have done better, but the officer is supposed to be in control of the situation. The fact the LEO didn't address the driver first thing, never properly secured the area and immediately accused the passenger and driver without any evidence to the contrary definitely puts him way in the wrong.Texas Dan Mosby wrote:Meh...
That vid could be used as an example of what NOT to do for both LEO's and CHL holders alike.
I don't have much sympathy for either party.
The LEO exhibited less than professional behavior, threatened to use unlawful force, and insinuated his partner would support him as a "witness". He's the guy that gives LEO's a bad name to those unwilling to accept the fact that most LEO's perform their duties lawfully and professionally.
The CHL holder had AMPLE time to notify BOTH officers and he FAILED. I'm not buying the "they wouldn't let me speak" excuse, nor am I buying the "...but officer, I wasn't picking up a prostitute" story either.
Fail all around.
While I would agree that the "prompt" notification requirement is indeed vague, you can't argue that the CHL in the video could have been more "prompt" with his notification.
