Baltimore Police Issue 2nd Amendment Decal Warning
Monday, June 6th, 2011 at 9:20 AM Maryland --(Ammoland.com)- On May 29, 2011, the Baltimore Police Criminal Intelligence Section issued an “Intelligence Bulletin†warning officers about persons displaying the 2nd Amendment decal pictured here. The bulletin contains the following caption in bold red letters: “….while the individual who is displaying the symbol may not be armed, the presence of the symbol provides an early warning indicator that you MAY be about to encounter an armed individual.†It apparently never occurred to the Intelligence Section that perhaps we the people could use a warning that the presence of a badge provides an early warning that we are about to encounter an armed individual. While this may seem a bit sarcastic, it is certainly not unfair for Maryland citizens to have reason for concern when they are approached by an officer. This is especially true when the officers are overly tense because they have been warned that a citizen with a decal or patch MAY be armed... www.ammoland.com/2011/06/06/baltimore-police-issue-2nd-amendment-decal-warning/

I wonder what they think of my Gadsden Flag and Culpepper Flag.
Do they call for SWAT to give me a speeding ticket?

They probably will. The minimum will be to ask you out of your vehicle for their protection. If you keep your cool, lock the doors and drop the keys into your front pants pocket, and pretend to not understand it could be fun. When asked for permission to search of course ask if you are under apprehension or arrest. If not tell them"I don't have time really to allow that since my Attorney is in court today,and as I am not in the vehicle so you are in no danger" If they insist keep asking questions about what they are looking for. if they refer to the decal ask who made that decision since it is a historic reference to the patriots in 1776. If they get mean and arrest you they will have to seize the keys and then ask if now my keys are evidence of an unknown crime can you still use them to attempt an illegal search. This generally get a senior who will know the best way to ask your pardon.
