If you have a gun and he knows it, he is within his rights to perform an e-check to verify that it is unloaded and being transported legally. He does not have the right (though will probably do it anyways) to run the serial number unless he has RS/PC that you have or intend to commit a crime. That said, it's still a pretty loose definition of "commit a crime", IE, the gun is locked in your trunk, but the rear seats fold down without a key and the gun is not in it's own locked container. While he may let you slide with a warning that the trunk is not adequate with the folding rear seat if you are cool and cooperative, he does have you on "committed a crime" and it would give him the legal authority to run the serial numbers.

If you deny a LEO permission to search your car can that be then used as probable cause to search it? I mean they could say that any person with nothing to hide would have no reason to deny the search. Only people involved in illegal activities would deny the search. My dad was pulled over a while back for a burned out tail light and he denied the search. They then proceeded to remove him from the car and search it for 2 hours finding nothing. He filed a report but nothing came from it.

It will always be the classic challenge, LE doing a frustrating job, citizens wanting to "crack" down at any cost, and the same citizens being handled badly by new tactics and bends of the law to get the job done.

The only hope is to change the incentives from getting paid to arrest (an incentive structure which is more profitable when there is more crime, to getting paid to minimize arrests and crime. Privatization of security services and voluntary government (or DROs) is the only hope. Unfortunately, only a tiny minority have ever even heard of the libertarian free market concepts that could provide solutions, and the government I suppose that an interim improvement may also be possible, without so far reaching a transformation as to voluntary government, by incrementally changing the legal structure so as to increase the degree to which the state must prove not just violation of the law, but criminal intent to violate the law, in such cases as frequently plague gun owners who are threatened with draconian punishments for innocuous errors in following the law. Either improvement however seems unlikely, as it appears we are sliding inexorably toward totalitarianism, regardless of the protestations of both sides of the one party system. The left, in addition to being entirely incapable of comprehending markets, can't grasp that their every proposal to help simply increases the state's power. The right can't grasp that you simply can't retain "freedom" while at the same time expanding a global empire (increasing state power). Both sides are hopelessly easy to dupe into believing that "threats" are lurking around every corner. It is not incorrect that there are threats. But the fact is that almost the entirety of the "threats" are self-created. This will remain the case as it is in the state's interest to see it continue. We have no intention of defeating our "enemies," because the state largely created them. While they may be a threat to the safety of the people, they are for that very reason the health of the state. Again, people function only according to incentives. If you wish to accuse me of wandering, I concede guilt.

If you are stopped by police, you aren't required to converse with him. You need to hand over your license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance.
Wouldn't an appropriate answer to any "knock and talk" questions which is nothing more than an attempt to interview a subject "here is my license, registration and proof of insurance, officer. I don't believe we have anything to discuss" be sufficient? I often drive around the country in an expensive RV. Sometimes the cops knock and talk. If you're foolish enough to willingly be engaged, it is your fault. I remember once I loaded up from my building I own there and ready to pull out of San Francisco but it was too late to drive so my wife and I decided to go to sleep there in a legal parking spot nearby with my then 5 week child in the vehicle. The cops came by for a knock and talk and asked me to invite them inside at about 2am in the morning. I laughed mightily and told them police or not, waking me up at 2am and asking to be invited inside wasn't polite, police or not and that I never invite police into my domicile or residence, which this motorcoach was at the time — and declined. What could they do? Nothing. They left. I told them not to wake me up after 10pm ever again if they saw me parked around there, it wasn't appropriate and sent them packing. Never got visited by SFPD again, pulled out in the morning for my home in northern Nevada. My father was a CHP officer for over 25 years so I'm familiar with cops. I don't hate or disrespect them, because of my familiarity with them i don't get intimidated by them but I'm also firm with them, too. I value all my rights and try to calmly and politely assert them when necessary and it has worked out for me for decades. I also do not hesitate to tell them I'm family when one tries to engage me, I assume that sometimes it could mean the difference between a hostile and neutral or hopefully positive encounter. The only time I discuss guns with police in California is when I'm not carrying one! |

My experience with police has been simple.
Answer the questions. Be honest, Be direct and keep it short and sweet. "yes sir", "no sir", "i believe I was going 55mph sir", etc... In the example of the guy saying "i have nothing illegal in my car". Well - that's fine, but that's not what you were asked. You were asked if there's weapons in the vehicle. That's a simple yes or no question. His answer would have raised suspicion with me as well - because his answer didn't really answer the question. |

PC is easy enough for LEO's to get as they'll just keep you on site until the puppies with badges who eventually become canine cokeheads show up. They'll have no problem sniffing out ammo and/or the g.s.r. on the weapon itself.

Peon is given some bull**** ticket. "I say you turned on a red, your word against mine, that'll be $450." Peon doesn't pay the bull**** ticket. Ticket turns into a bench warrant. Peon is pulled over but doesn't wish to get arrested for bull****, "You know what, copper, go fsck yourself." Cop radios for the coroner and goes on a two week vacation. |

what happens if you do say "No" if a policemen ask if they can search your car. wouldn't that cause more trouble?

If you admitted to having guns, then he has the right to verify that they are being transported unloaded. He may or may not actually check... a couple of Calgunners have reported that they've been asked, said "Sure, it's locked up in the back", and the cop said nothing more about it. This would also apply if the guns, or strong evidence of guns (shot up targets, ammo boxes, and a case) are in plain view. Also, an NRA sticker has been ruled as NOT reasonable suspicion, and at least in my experience, cops appear to be aware of it, as I've been flying an NRA sticker for over 4 years and have never been pulled over. But assuming that none of the above applies... you haven't admitted (or been asked) about having guns in the car, the courts have ruled that declining to consent to a search under your 5A rights does not justify RS/PC for a search. However, do keep in mind that when you refuse to consent, his radar will go into high-gain looking for RS/PC, and you are unlikely to get a warning if the stop was for a traffic violation.

I understand and support a person's assertion of their rights.
People who own, transport and shoot OLL firearms do so legally, in my opinion. So, if asked 'Do you have any firearms in your vehicle?', what's the down side to responding 'yes' if you're transporting them properly? The point is, if we exclude possible risk and inconvenience from our interactions with police, we also fail to educate our police on the legal validity of OLLs. As an OLL firearm owner, should you be ready, even if you're not willing, to talk to a cop (with a CalGuns flowchart and passages of relevant CA law), at least until such time as OLLs are no longer remarkable. As an OLL firearm owner, you can assert your rights to deflect police attention from the contents of your vehicle, of course. But the day may come when you find yourself, despite your preference otherwise, discussing the contents of your gun case with an LEO, and I think you had better be prepared to discuss this matter in a confident, practiced and legally sound manner. OLL owners should have the reference material in mind (and in print!) to take- and pass- this 'final exam' when it is given. |

Put yourself in his place, but change the situation, maybe to something drug related. Who are you going to believe... your training, or what your suspect tells you is legal. Quote:
I was introduced to it and lurked on the forum for about 6 months before I joined CGN, and my first reaction when my friend showed me the link was "Ya, right... I can own an assault rifle with one small change to the mag release just because some yahoos on the internet claim that it's legal? I don't think so!" Now today... combining the flowchart with the SacPD and OCSD training bulletins, you've got a better leg to stand on.

Agreed, nobody wants to live in a police state, but the prospect of choosing to talk to a cop about your OLL is a situation which can happen, despite assertions of rights and any preventive measures taken. OLL owners may want to practice for that time to avoid a needless arrest, to educate the police, and end the matter uneventfully.
If you clam up, you increase the cop's index of suspicion and maybe therefore your probability of arrest. Cop sees an 'illegal' rifle, the owner won't explain away the illegality, so unsurprisingly the cop makes an arrest. Yes, you're asserting your rights the whole time, but choosing to clarify the cop's mistaken understanding might have prevented the whole incident. You can go about your business without the hassle and expense of arrest and defense. I'd rather buy cases of ammo than buy time inside and release from the justice system for the sake of proving a point. Think it out before hand what you're going to do and why, and prepare. |

that seems awful general. As someone who was 1 step away from being a CHP officer, the way you see officers is as a bad guy. they are there to help, i have several times gotten advice, etc from them, there job is to protect people first and help people second.

This is a great thread. I started getting into the OLL AR's and guns in general a couple of years back, and most of my time having firearms and transporting them from place to place has been spent in Arizona. In AZ, I got used to having a loaded firearm next to me in a holster in my vehicle most of the time and open carrying wherever and such.
Now that I am living back in CA, I worry about driving anywhere with a firearm and espescially my Colt LE6940 (has a raddlock now). I guess I don't feel confident that I know the laws well enough, espescially since laws pertaining to firearms even vary from county to county in CA. So let me see if I have the basics down.... 1. I can drive with my rifle (even oll) in the back of my tahoe in rifle case 2. Handgun must be in a locked case in back 3. Firearms must be unloaded I might be making a range trip soon. Excellent point about keeping gun cases out of view as well as all other firearms related stuff. Am I missing something?? Thanks guys |

Not smart.
While it is not consenting to a search, you don't know what one of the kids may have picked up, or what a passenger may have left in your car... or if you bought it used, what the previous owner may have left behind. Simply politely refuse to answer the question.

nervous button
New to calguns. Have read the flowchart..but not sure i understand it. Bought my stag
2ht ar15 at a gunshow in coasta mesa about two years ago. It came equiped with a bullet button. I was told by the salesman that with the bb makes the rifle cal legal and also that the rifle could now possess all the nasty,except highcap mags.Im still very nervous transporting it to the range. Has anyone out there heard any thing from cal DA or DOJ on the legality of the bullet button? |

WRT to the various DAs, people have been arrested for legal AR's and AK's equipped with a maglock. To date, there have been zero successful prosecutions, and most recent cases have resulted in the charges being dropped after a phone call from one of the Calguns attorneys. Both Sacramento PD and Orange County Sheriff have issued training memos informing the field officers that the bullet button is indeed within the boundaries of the law. I printed out color copies of these memos, along with the flowchart, and laminated them to keep with me. I also made 20 copies of all of the above in B&W to hand to any officer (or civilian) who may have questions.

Last week I was driving home after a fishing trip and made a u turn at a 3 way intersection (no stop sign or signal lights). The officer behind me cut me off while I was making the u-turn. Two officers exit the vehicle and approach. The driver asks for license, reg and insurance. Before I can get them:
PO: Do you have any firearms in the car? ME: I have nothing illegal in the vehicle. PO: I asked if you have any firearms in the car. ME: I do not have anything illegal in my vehicle. PO: Step out of the car and put your hands behind your back. ME: (Handcuffs applied) PO: Do you think a legal gun wont kill someone? PO: When I ask you if you have any firearms it's for my survival. PO: Did you know you have committed a crime by not answering my question? ME: What crime is that? PO: Penal code 148, you should check it out. ME: I will. PO: Did you know its illegal to have a gun in your car? ME: Really? How do people go to shooting ranges? PO: So, are you getting back from the shooting range? ME: No. PO: Wait here. ME: (stood for 10 minutes) PO: So you said you were at the range today, right? ME: No, I did not say that. PO: (Takes my handcuffs off and gives me citation for illegal u-turn) Cover PO: Did you ask to search his car? PO: I figured he wouldn't let us. PO: Will you let us take a look in your car? ME: Not without a warrant. Cover PO: (to me): Just wait, one of these days it'll be your turn PO: I hope you don't leave your car parked here overnight. ME: Have a good night officers. It was definitely a very weird encounter. Did I handle this improperly? |

Actually you did pretty well except here:
Quote:
Every time you open your mouth you are risking the officer hearing or interpreting something you say as either a waiver of your rights, or as something incriminating. That is why it's best to remain silent if you are asked any questions, ESPECIALLY if you are already in handcuffs. Overall I think you did very well though, you did avoid a search, which could have caused you much more problems depending on what the officer thought about what was in your car. By the way, PC 148 is resisting or obstructing, and exercising your right to remain silent cannot be prosecuted under that code. If you actually lied and said there were no weapons when there were weapons, then MAYBE he might have something.
