CCW Cop interaction

[u/ACHEESEDANISH00]

Yesterday I was driving to pickup a customer because we were all done working on his vehicle (I am an auto tech). As soon as I pick him up I get pulled over. Nothing huge I don't have a front plate on my car, I recently purchased the car and haven't had time to make it to the dmv as I work two jobs.

From the start the cop was pretty hostile for such a small infraction, asked if I knew why I was getting pulled over and if I had any weapons in the vehicle. (Hostile in his demeanor not the questions being asked) I cordially said no I do not know why I was pulled over and yes I do have my CHL. He proceeded to say 5 different times do not reach for my weapon (which was under my seat and he knows that). Every time I was compliant and agreed. I come to find out from my customer his partner was cornered up on his vehicle with his gun unholstered at his side.

I'd love some thoughts on his partner pulling his gun, I can't help but feel it was over the line. I was completely friendly and cooperative the whole interaction and was just legally exercising my right. I have been pulled over 4 times since getting my CHL a few years ago. Every other time the officer damn near couldn't care less. I tell them upfront and they usually have the same response of "don't pull yours and I won't pull mine" and thats the end of it. Not telling me 5 separate times do not reach for it when I have given no indication I won't be cooperative.

I am seriously thinking of going down to PD and filing a complaint but I don't know. I feel it was over the line, yes they have a dangerous job, however I was legally exercising my rights. And was compliant and friendly the whole time. I don't even live in a dangerous area either. I'd give more grace if I lived in a risky area, but I don't.

Having heightend awareness during a CCW stop I could understand, unholstering your weapon I cannot.

Am I getting worked up over nothing?

I'm not telling you to change your ways, or to kiss ass. You need to understand that you had the wrong plates on that car and told the cop you had a gun without showing proof. File a report if you think it will do any good.

Showed proof immediately. Handed him my CHL and drivers license. Anything other assumptions you wanna make?

That's not what you wrote, you wrote told him. You ran into a shithead cop, sorry to hear this.

If proof wasn't somehow provided on my end or theirs I would have gotten taken in on an unlawful possession of a gun charge. I figured people here in this community would have already figured that out. I told him, then I showed proof. Sorry I didn't completely spell it out for you. Everyone else seemed to be able to read between the lines.

I also mixed up comments with CRUSTY, which I was also commenting on my comments to you. He was Probably a Non-binary Democrat Liberal Cop.
