My point would be if an officer makes a stop and he's unsure of the law maybe he should carry $.25 to call the DA or ADA to find out if he's on solid ground or ice breaking up under him I'm sure the CLEO and the Solicer for the town would also have access to the law sites on line. |
I dont expect a LEO to know every law, I mean i dont know every SQL command or every possible domain GPO configuration.
BUT...
If there are any laws that a cop should learn, I would think firearms would be at the top of the list. Its much more forgiving to screw up a parking ticket than not know how to approach a legally gun carrying citizen
