Here in Slidell, our police department stopped actively going after Vest Violators when the grant money ran out. We've since shifted our focus to people smoking in cars with children under 13 present and a new initiative against violators of LA R.S. 14:208. We're expecting some serious seizure money out of that one, like in the dozens of dollars.
I'm not trying to be an a$$ (OK, maybe just a little for laughs), but my point is that there are NO cops out there riding the school zones looking for people possibly wearing body armor. You would have to be the biggest, jack-a$$iest, youtube-video-recordin', Gadsen-flag-tied-'round-your-neck-like-a-cape, Triumph-the-Insult-Comic-Dog wannabe, argumentative fu@ktard on the planet to get a cop to take the time and effort to arrest you for something like having body armor in a diaper bag. Hell, the baby would have to be in the bag and dead for any cop to give you a second glance on this one. You'd have to run up and show them, and then direct most of them to the right statute to begin with. Take a deep breath, man. Maybe two or three in a row.
