Dumpster diving in muncie...question for LEOs

[kramer5702]

So the wife and I were out late last night dumpster diving when we were stopped my Muncie LEOs, you man can't remember his name. I let him know what we were doing and that we were NOT trying to break in through the dumpster and let him know that I was carrying on my left hip and a knife in my right pocket. I was told to turn around, hands in the air (in a nice manner) while he disarmed me (which I had to show him how to use a thumb break for a lefty lol) and he proceeded to fully unload my glock, run a check on myself, my carry permit and my firearm. Let me go but made me sit in my truck with my unloaded glock while he brought my rounds and mag to me and informed me not to "load up" until I was long gone. I'm sure he could've ticketed me or worse for dumpster diving but was the disarming and what followed necessary after he found I was not a threat and had no prior or warrants?

Seems like everything was in order. You were checked, not harassed and were on your way. Win, win.

I am not an LEO. Did you state that you did not wish to be disarmed/detained?

 

[kramer5702]

I'm not mad about it, just curious if every LEO would've disarmed me and tell me not to reload until I'm gone. With everything going on nowadays I think he handled it quite well especially since I made him nervous and his backup didn't show for almost 10 minutes.

No, I followed every order the officer gave me.

FWIW..I would be nervous just being out late at night D-diving.

Lol, that's why I carry...I almost drew on a racoon the other night! Usually never go to the area I did, officer said they had some break ins lately, and I probably woke him up at 2 am lol. I pulled reserve duties several years ago, I remember working 12 hr shifts on nights with nothing to do. Now I work at a prison on 12 hour day shifts with nothing to do lol

Forget about the cop stuff - did you find any good stuff?

 

[kramer5702]

Something wrong?

Yeah, some "damaged" Yankee candles (those **** things are expensive), a couple video games at gamestop. I don't go for food like a lot of people look at it as, I feel sorry for those that do.

Sorry, but I don't see it that way.
if the op told the officer he had a license to carry handgun and showed it to him, there is NO reason to be disarmed unless the officer believes he was committing or about to commit a crime.

That's kind of what I thought and was my actual question. His pat search was horrible, which could mean he didn't feel threatened but I could've had an ankle or IWB holster on and he wouldn't have known

Wait, what? He patted you down? This gets better and better...please tell me he took the wallet

 

[kramer5702]

Oh yeah, he took my wallet lol. Took my permit to make sure it was real along with my id.

Some cities it is a crime to dumpster dive.
