Zero tolerance in Cobb

[sniper22]

Illegal search

All evidence should be thrown out.

Not an illegal search if the dog responded on an open air search. That gave the pig probably cause.

Not anymore, in ga. You can have a weapon in your car, as long as you're not a student.

Wrong. check out OCGA 16-11-127.1

That's pretty embarrassing. I would hope as an SRO you would be aware of the changes in the law the past couple of years.

If the original posting did actually happen, then yes, it is ridiculous. Has anyone done any research to check the validity of the story?
Sadly, there are groups of individuals out there that like to make up stories like this just to keep the pot stirred.

He can't help it.

Maybe the cop was a dick and pushed it, maybe it was the circumstance you are saying, we don't know that. But please, feel free to bash the people who would do anything to protect you. How did you so pleasantly put it??

You have already illustrated your lack of knowledge regarding GA carry laws while exhorting your (incorrect) expertise, why am I unsurprised that you are not aware that police have no duty to "protect" outside of a couple extremely obscure exceptions. The supreme court has maintained this position for 30+ years. "Protect and Serve" is a misnomer, any department that uses the phrase is simply misleading their citizens.

Truly, I hope you are a young idealist who is simply ignorant (meant in the true definition of the word, not a negative personal attack, or "anti LEO"... on the contrary) regarding the laws in your jurisdiction and will better educate yourself in the future.

Too many Barney Fifes in this world and not enough Andy Taylors.

Zero tolerance is absurd and only exists because people, in general, are increasingly incapable of making judgement calls. No one is willing to state the obvious. The kid carrying a tool is different from the kid with a dagger.
