Yea, that's a win. Especially since he wasn't there long enough to find out you are a punk. Kidding, kidding.
Glad you got out of the ticket and I think he did cut you a break so we are going to give him half-credit on this assignment.
OP is based out of Gary as such he is a punk by residence & carries a Hi-Point sideways.
I used to believe that I would inform, then I heard about so many citizens having their weapons taken away. That is when I decided I would not inform.
The problem with carrying the IC is that the law is silent on OC/CC and need to inform. It is really difficult to show someone something that isn't there.
FYI...
We had another thread on here were it was confirmed that LEO's now via their laptop in the car will get a return informing them you have a LTCH when they run your info. It's not in the driver license database but somehow the laptop in the cops car is pining 2 DBs the DL and the LTCH!
So once they run your info be it you remain silent or not the computer is going to rat you out.
