Hey guys and gals. after an early night, i got up at 1 am to catalogue all the slabs i have listed. at 3:20am a truck came up the driveway down my long private gravel driveway. Thankfully i was up, dressed, packing and in/out of the garage. As i saw the lights, and heard all the dogs doing crazy i looked out the window and saw this truck turned into a turnout about to back around then drive out i assume, so the headlights were not facing me. I ran down 100ish feet real quick to confront. They told me they were looking at realestate properties.. So i said its 3am ?!?! woman driving, guy in passenger seat with a headlamp on his head. After a minute of expressing my frustration of them trespassing i told them i was taking a picture of their tag before they leave. Amidst all of this they said " dont shoot " (they could not see my g43). So i tried to call non emergency line but it sent me to k9 so i figured they may be closed. i waited till 6:30 to call the police and i told them what happened and gave them the tag# and told the officer what happened, gave my information and he told me they would run the tag and deal with it according. The cop seemed very confused with why i would want their plate run and asked me why and told me they dont give out information. I said i do not need information, but would be happy if they run the tag like they always do on a pullover to make sure there not dealing with criminals. Will they , who knows. He said i should have called the police when it happened.
That brings me to my question for you law gurus. I expressed to the officer that to call the police while they are there would just cause them to speed off, etc so i asked can i hold them at gunpoint with a light ( so i can make sure they weren't reaching for anything in the vehicle) and he said yes. I said are you sure thats not false imprisonment ? He didnt answer me and distracted me with asking the vehicle color. Then asked am i sure i want to risk a potential gunfight ? I replied, Yes.
~ So, if i am on my private property and someone comes trespassing all the way my 2000ft gravel drive to my house and there are no trespassing signs. and if i feel like they are shady like this was, can i hold them at gunpoint and make them get out of the vehicle, hands on the car, then make the call to 911 as i hold pistol/light in one hand and phone in the other ?
Sorry if my grammar isn't very well and may sound jarbled. ive had a bad experience back in the day with a few young kids robbed my moms house, and on the 3rd time i showed up and saw 3 of them running from the house with my backpacks on. the getaway driver saw me pulling in ( another long driveway) and he dipped out leaving one of the kids that went for the car stranded in a tall grass field. so i pulled up, slammed truck in park and jumped out with a shotgun and held him with his hands high until cops came. they told me i was awesome, but he clearly had my backpack on and it was the 3rd robbery, whereas this morning was 2 crack/meth heads casing my house.
If you took the time to read this i appreciate that and any knowledge legally and/or tactically that would be the best thing to do in this scenario. Im thinking a tlr-hl with strobe on my g19, or p2000(just to make AD less likely), maybe i should stick with tried and true X300 ultra ( my x400 has never failed me ).
The tag is RZZ6707 Dodge Dakota older model extended cab for any of you LEO that might want to look into it yourself, or any one else in the woodstock over to sandy plains/92 area to keep your eyes out for these people.
Thanks in advance for any advice
