Law Homework Help. Taft College Criminal Justice Discussion
You are a new police officer. You have a daughter, and a family who greets you at home after every work shift. One day, you are assigned to a rough neighborhood. You’ve heard about this neighborhood from fellow officers. Previous officers have been shot and killed in this neighborhood. So you patrol the neighborhood on high alert.
As you and your partner patrol, you notice an old white car with a broken tail light driving down the lane at a legal speed. You pull the car over. You approach the car and notice a man in the driver’s seat, a woman in the passenger seat, and a young female child in the backseat. You inform the driver that his tail light is out and ask for his license and registration. He calmly and respectfully hands you his registration. As he is reaching for his license, he informs you that he has a firearm on his body. You immediately go on high alert. You inform him not to reach for his firearm, but he continues to reach for his license.
