Interaction with Forsyth County Sheriff's Department part 1

I was pulled over because my tag light was burned out but it turned out to be a bigger deal. After it was over I realized that it was not such a bad experience and I think the deputies I interacted with that night were pretty good guys. It was scary but also fascinating. My nervousness invoked suspicion but I wasn't scared of being caught with something, I was afraid they were going to hurt me. They were extremely generous not to give me a citation after the misunderstanding and I owe them a great deal of thanks for letting me go.

In Georgia you are not really required to show your insurance cards because it can be pulled up by your tag number telling the officer if you are insured or not.The other thing is your not legally required to tell a office if you have a firearm in your car or give them a Georgia weapon license at all.Under the 5th Amendment you can refuse to talk to police legal and the 4th Amendment you can refuse to have a search of you vehicle if they have no RAS or PC which sound like they didn't have

Same thing happened to my friend in Forsyth County. They said he looked "nervous" and he told them he had an anxiety disorder. So they called in the drug dogs to give him even more anxiety. He had to wait 30 minutes for the drug dog to get there. Of course, they found nothing and they finally let him ago.

I visited a friend in prison for the first time since he was transfered. When I pulled up they were doing a weapon drug search. I was nervous and he cop asked, "are we making you nervous?" I said yes and could hear him talking with his partner as they searched. I was thinking yes I'm nervous because I am a law abiding citizen and have never been searched for weapons or drugs. Isn't it a normal reaction for a good person to be nervous?

Hi, Corey. Yeah, I know that burned out tag lights is a really big hazard to society that the police really must do something about; especially in probable cause states. But I had no idea about such uses for Burt's Bees lip balm ; )

Anyway, I'm glad you're a free man!!!
