 | G.I.M.P.S. is nothing compared to T.H.P.D.. A veteran city officer laughingly told me he wouldn't display this acronym emblazoned across a garment because he wasn't THUPID.

I still find it stunning that so many cops are so blatantly ignorant on this score. So if the cops surprise someone open carrying and they make a protective move to cover their gun, the cops can shoot without penalty, right?

I am not advocating pacifism, and you certainly wont find me in the "well just cover it up" camp. He was more or less respectful during the encounter, and I give him credit for that. Something about the thing just came across as.... well I cant find the right adjective. Maybe its the whole cell phone and camera thing.

| A few things that validate this approach: One, it educates the cops involved. And if the victims of police ignorance file complaints, maybe the police forces will educate their officers en masse. Perhaps a vain hope, but a valid one I think. And if the cops involved see determination and a refusal to be intimidated by their tactics, maybe they'll change their approach. Two, the 411Porc is a VERY good idea in the face of an increasingly militaristic and combative attitude on the part of police towards the citizenry. Public demonstrations of positive rights should be made. How much good is done by this video? I think much more good than bad. The guy carrying wasn't belligerent in my view. If the cop doesn't have the right to ask the questions, he has the right to not answer them. I doubt I could be as restrained in my responses. The style may annoy, but I think this is important work. What I want to know is what are the public's rights in recording the official activities of police officers in Indiana? I know there are some states where it is definitely against the law. And that's just crap.

| Good points IndyMike. I am reconsidering my view on his actions.

 | My cell phone was on the same side as my back up gun. Reaching for my cell phone would have been very stupid. (I cannot understand why he was so concerned over my 1911 but said nothing about my Kahr P9. Perhaps he did not see it). Whipping out my cell phone would have gotten me an ASP-size dent in my skull. He was that angry.
