If a cop asked me if I had a firearm I'd just lie and tell him no and hope he didn't search my car...if I was armed of course.

If you have a CCW permit, don't you usually have to tell a cop if you're armed?

With some officers, declaring that you have a firearm will get a gun pointed at you.
I just heard on the news last week (didn't catch the full story) of some website that people could go to that allowed them to rate, and I suppose post comments?, police officers. It sort of sounded something like RateMyProfessor.com.Originally posted by: Venix

Yes, but in the real world most people (including cops) suck at their jobs. This is an especially serious problem with the police, since a bad cop can easily destroy someone's life.
If more people took an active role in identifying and reporting good and bad cops, departments might have an easier time rewarding the good ones and removing the bad ones.

Boy, I wish they had the same professionalism in Southern Ohio.
I got pulled one night driving from Huntingtion, WV to Ashland, KY (going through Rt. 52 around South Point, OH) in my dad's Jensen CV-8. It is a right-hand drive and I was the only one in the car. After pulling me over, his explanation was that I was weaving and driving too slow. (huh? you get a speeding ticket in that area for going 58 in the 55.)
He asked what kind of car was this and what type of engine, yadda, yadda, yadda. I opened the bonnet and showed him the engine. Another cop car pulls over and they too look at the engine and flash the lights all around the interior. I ask if I am going to get a ticket and he tells me to watch my mouth and asks if I had been drinking. They also ask me why I have an NC license and driving a KY car.
They evenutally let me go with a warning about weaving and my smart mouth. I grew up around that area so I know that complaining about South Point cops is like complaining about the weather.

Professionalism. With some officers, declaring that you have a firearm will get a gun pointed at you. Officer Hutchin's ability to tell the good guys from the bad guys sets him apart.

Hmmm, live in East L.A. do yah? Here in Alaska when you announce you have a firearm in the car when being pulled over, they react exactly like the officer in the OP described.
Good luck with that.
