They didn't charge him with failure to ID, they didn't charge him with standing on the side of a highway, they charged him with unlawfully carrying a weapon.  He has a concealed carry license.  I don't see how the cops can win this.  I bet the prosecutor drops it.  If so, there will be nothing stopping the cops from doing this again, and again.

At what cost?

and you need an attorney that won't fold when a liberal district court judge makes up laws.

The issue is usually less the attorney's backbone and more the pockets of the plaintiff.

And you think winning this one case will stop cops from doing it or something like it again?
