Law question? New from Brownsville

[Guest Bonedaddy]

:tough:Can a policeman seize your legal to carry weapon over a crime such as a broken taillight or speeding ticket?

[Guest H0TSH0T]

SURE, anything is possible, was this for the duration of the stop, or, did he take it home and paint it pink? are you permitted to carry, or were you breaking the law there also? if permitted to carry, did he give it back after the stop? details we need more details.

If you can elaborate a little more, maybe tell us the story behind your question, I'm sure we could help you out with your question.

But what from I gather from your question, no, a policeman can not take your weapon away for an extended period of time (if that's what you mean by seize) over a broken tail light or a traffic citation.

However, during the traffic stop, if he felt that you were not in a condition to be carrying a weapon, as in, you're nucking futs, and foaming at the mouth etc, then yes he can seize the weapon.

Again, we can not fully answer your question, and I hope I'm not jumping to conclusions, but I feel you're leaving out a big part of your story on purpose. I hope we can help you more with your question after you elaborate.
