I know who ended up with it, and he got it sitting in the back of the car when BP pulled them over. BP was being shadowed by TP&W LE at the time and walked up to take part in that stop.
I will not start dropping names on the internet though as that is jut not good form, but this did happen. I met the guy for the first time this year as he was riding down with long time herping friend we all know here.
So in short, this did happen, and it goes to show how the game will be played by at least some members of LE. Which leads to the following advice:
1 - mind your P's and Q's out there, give no reason to be pulled over, but you will be pulled over anyway at some point.
2 - cooperate, but record any LE encounter if you can, I have not seen many cell phones that do not have a video feature, even if it is too dark to see you can still hear.
3 - if you get a citation, for anything at all, fight it. As a whole we do not want a record of any violations out there. ----- ___________________________ Herp Conservation Unlimited
