They rarely can keep their emotions under control. This marine was dead cinch correct in every position but one.......when the officer made an investigatory stop, he has every right during questioning to make sure his safety is first and foremost. When a person who is legally armed, he has every right to handcuff that suspect if the officer feels his safety is at risk. The officer was correct, but once he determined that he could not establish any law being broken, the officer could not keep him handcuffed because he was fearful the Captain would shoot him.....big bad on the officer's part.
The officer in my opinion was completely reasonable until he had enough information in his investigatory stop to realize that no law was broken and this man was not a threat to anyone. It is a fine line balancing the rights of the individual and an officer's right to be safe....the courts have consistently supported officers perceptions of risk, but 45 minutes of handcuffs is retribution and humiliation after facing a patriot who was both knowledgeable of his constitutional rights, and was not a typical mouthy wussy. This man was trained and I was impressed. The officers will be reprimanded for the length of time the rider was in handcuffs, they will not lose their jobs, and the Captain will get a nominal amount of money for the same. The system only works when patriots do just what this Captain did, but until you have been the only person on duty in a rural county and pull over somebody who is armed........do not tell the courts or the officers about your constitutional rights because the officer is going to be able to make a safe investigatory stop. period.
