Ccw and traffic stops.

[Jdalton]

I've been pulled over twice now while carrying, both by slidell pd. Both times I was let go with warnings. Do y'all think cops tend to be more lenient on those with ccw?

Sometimes. Doing the proper thing, and fully cooperating with the LEO will always get you brownie points on stops.

I can imagine that an officer would be more trusting of you if you have a CHP and you cooperate with them and don't lie about how fast you were going....

+1 on that

5 out of 6 times in the last four years I have been let go with a warning. Each time was a little different in the way it was handled but it always seems to catch the LEO off guard and makes him forget about the reason I was pulled over in the first place. The sixth time I blatantly ran a stop sign directly in front of a State Capitol police car and deserved the ticket. Even if you feel you did nothing wrong, a warm smile and acting apologetic and respectful when he approaches you won't hurt.

I guess it's possible. Until now I thought it was just my charming personality.

Sounds like you are being profiled and they are just waiting to catch you on something bigger.....

Way back in 19 and 92 I was in Lostangeles Ca. and was crossing the street.A motorcycle cop pulled up to me and asked me why I was j-walking when there was a crosswalk only 30 ft farther down the road.I looked at the crosswalk then back at him and said because Im a dumbass.He said "thats the answer he was looking for" got a big grin on his face and sped off.Your attitude has a lot to do with the officers responce.

My CCP did nothing for me when ticketed for the left turn on Vets under Causeway overpass but the older JP did thank me for being up front about the announcement that I was a CCP.

And I just knew intuitively that on that particular turn as I went for it, it didn't feel right. And sure enough. I wasn't angry though. It cost $200 bucks BTW. So you guys in Metairie that know exactly the turn I am talking about, beware.

Do you remember the DPS guy's name? He might be my buddy

I tend to, assuming the violation is nothing extream, IE Speeding in a school zone, Careless Operation, Passing a School Bus, Disreguarding an Emergency Vehicle and the like.
