Re: Pulled Over by DPS

The Valentines are great. I had one, but someone decided that I needed to replace my window and he needed a new detector. I have not had the opportunity to replace it. I like the fact that you can upgrade the firmware with them.

My recommendation is Valentine. It's got good range and

Re: Pulled Over by DPS

Thanks.
I got the idea when I used to ride motorcycles. I had a bright orange laminated card attached to my jacket zipper that had a lot of info on it. If you get into accident or emergency situation they will always look for the ID.

Pulled Over by DPS

I live in SA and work in Austin. With my long commute I tend to speed.
I was nailed by DPS on I35 Northbound right before I entered Kyle.
The officer approached my car and introduced himself as Officer XYZ, informed me of why he pulled me over and asked for my DL and proof of insurance.
I told him for my safety and his that I was a valid CHL holder and I was carrying my weapon on my person. He said fine and took my DL and Insurance. I did fail to give him my CHL and he never asked for it.
*** NOTE*** I am a NON commissioned Texas peace officer.
On my DL I have a sticker with info:
*** Medical Condition ***
blah blah blah
*I am an organ door
* Emergency Contact:
Jane Doe (WIFE)
(111)111-1111 (CELL)

He squinted to look at the sticker since it is small. He asked if I was a officer. I told him I was not commissioned at the time. He indicated I would be receiving a warning, and that it would not show up on my driving record and he would be right back. He was back in about 1 minute. He asked what kind of pistol I was carrying. I told him a Glock, and he nodded with approval, and told me to be safe. The whole incident lasted less than 3-4 minutes one we came to a stop. This is the first time I have been pulled over since I have had my CHL or graduated from the Police Academy. The PID# may have gotten me out of the ticket, who knows. But he was very polite and professional.
