Warning, video has foul language.
Canton, Ohio police see a car stopped, pull behind it to investigate. Cops yell at 2 of the people involved for about 6 minutes, completely ignoring the driver--but searching inside the car. After 6 minutes, they get to the driver. First thing the driver says is "I've got a carry..." and the cop interrupts, demands the truth. Driver explains, tries to offer his carry license. Finally the cop realizes what the driver is saying, and flips.
In my limited experience with law enforcement, I've never had to deal with an officer like this, and never had a problem with notifying--the worst reaction I got was a local cop who once I notified would not let me get my own wallet out of my back pocket. However, I will notify even if I have to talk over an officer.
As far as I am concerned, the cop in the video demonstrated his unsuitability not just in his dealings with the license holder, but also with the others--'If I find you one more time tonight, I'm going to put lumps on you'.
It is clear the officer was more made at himself than anyone. He needs addtional training as he was the one that endagered the other officer by not listening to the subject. Listening is one of the basic officer saftey rules- then he was so into his mistake that he did not know the permit was right there in the subjects hand. This is a future officer training film on what not to do and how not to act...
