Bully cop that wants to flex his authority, gets trolled throughout the stop and completely owned once the stop was over. Deputy Brian Morris (Badge #814) pulls over a driver named Travis near White Creek Baptist Church. Almost immediately after establishing the reason for the stop, Deputy Morris orders... Travis to step out of his vehicle. ​When Travis asks why he needs to get out of the car for a simple equipment violation, Deputy Morris cites the landmark 1977 Supreme Court case Pennsylvania v. Mimms, which established that law enforcement officers have the authority to order drivers out of a vehicle during a lawful traffic stop for officer safety. However when asked if this was for safety he replied not necessarily. ​Once outside, Travis is completely transparent and informs the deputy that he is legally carrying two firearms—one on his hip and another in an ankle holster—as well as a pocket knife. Deputy Morris insists on disarming Travis for the duration of the stop. ​Travis begins recording on his phone and pushes back, arguing that temporarily seizing his weapons when he is being fully cooperative and poses no threat is a clear violation of his Second and Fourth Amendment rights. He points out that under Terry v. Ohio, an individual must be considered both armed and dangerous to justify a search or seizure, arguing that legal firearm ownership alone shouldn't automatically make someone a target for disarming. ​Despite the back-and-forth legal argument, the interaction remains verbal. Deputy Morris temporarily secures the firearms, checks Travis’s license and information, and finds no issues. Travis does remind the deputy throughout the stop that he understands that the deputy is scared and that this might not be the right job for this deputy. ​In the end, Deputy Morris unloads the handguns, returns them along with the knife, and sends Travis on his way with a verbal warning for the brake light. Before driving off, Travis unloads on the deputy with a few strong thoughts on police overreach and constitutional rights. ​Does an officer's blanket policy on safety outweigh a compliant citizen's right to carry without interference during a minor traffic stop? I know where I stand on this, but would love to hear the thoughts of others.show more

Ya got a broken tail light there, buddy. Let me take my authority and climb up your asshole to take a look around. This shit is way past ridiculous.

What i dont get(im Australian btw), is of they disarm you of your guns for "officer safety" then once your good to go, they just bloody hand them right back to you in your hands and now they're not worried about officer safety?

Not the mustache tyrant

Travis is 100% correct. That pig by his own admission ("I'm not scared") admitted he had no reason to pull him out of the car and disarm him. He's lying though. He was scared or he wouldn't have done what he did.

Cops are allowed to disarm you. I think it’s bullshit as the second amendment says rights shall not be infringed

This is why people stop respecting, trusting and speaking to them🫤 Just beyond common sense and utterly ridiculous stop for a taillight 🫤

All of this over a brake light. Tyranny at it’s best.

Is it possible he pulled his weapons to record make, model and serial number? Hmm... 🤔

Who protects law-abiding people from bully cops during interactions? Answer: NO ONE! You are on your own! Record EVERYTHING! Know & ASSERT YOUR RIGHTS! #End_QI_Now

Officer stated verbally that he was not afraid, thereby eliminating the only lawful cause to disarm that man.

Just a verbal warning for you today sir…… In the hopes that you don’t sue me for violating your rights….

The citizen that needs to walk around strapped with two guns saying the cop is afraid is funny. Why does he need two guns if he isn’t afraid of something?😂 Both these guys were acting like children.

I had Washington syate patrol do that same thing but kept me standing in front of my truck on a busy freeway 40 degrees out, no coat and monsooning rain, semis driving bye. He kept my firearm on the hood of his patrol car the whole time getting soaked, along with my walle. Finally let me go with a verbal warning to fix my cracked windshield. Fucking prick.

The only reason why they say “for officer safety” is because THEY ARE SCARED!

If a police officer is polite and respectful with me, they will get the same in return especially on a legitimate stop. First thing you should do is tell them you are armed and not start an argument over case law or any other nonsense. Just cooperate and be on your way.

Isn’t that the guy from Super Troopers??!!

What a pussy cop

Take notes black community. This is how you can be confrontational without being a complete piece of shit. Comply with all commands and you can say whatever it is you want. The. Take them to court!!

Deputies will pull out Pennsylvania v. Mimms faster than their turn signal, but the second someone quotes Terry v. Ohio back to them, suddenly it’s "step out of the vehicle."

I never tell cops im armed when I get pulled over. Been pulled over many times while conceal carrying, never told the cops. They never knew and so I would get my ticket and go on about my day. The second you tell them youre armed they get scared and treat you as a criminal.

I know there is a lot of good cops out there but ill say it again, cops like this one are the reason many people hate the police. Doing alllllll this extra bullshit over a brake light.

Travis handled that perfectly! Comply but don’t cooperate!

This is why the police hate ppl I don’t blame them at all. Ppl that give cops a hard time for no reason shut up damn ignorant redbeck

Well, cops nowadays will shoot a man with a baseball bat and in the old days the cops would fucking take him down. rush him maybe take a lump but now they’ll just shoot the motherfucker with no hesitation, because they’re scared. That’s straight from a Cop’s mouth.

Citizen’s safety always comes first. This is a 2nd amendment violation.

I’m 💯 with a citizen but cops job ain’t easy man. I just seen few videos where they get shot with dude as cool as this guy. You just don’t know but it sucks that they get to violate our rights all day long.

There is NO trying to talk to these people on what the truth actually is and what they actually do. They violate people's rights all day,even killing unarmed civilians and they'll still think of themselves as the hero. They are the 1st to go when it's time to get er done!!

The police would do well to deal with real criminals, instead of not going home over some bullshit. When you get to the pearly gates and they ask you what happened, they’d say “I didn’t mind my business and took a dirt nap over a brake light or having the wrong color sticker”

You asked him to get out of the car he got out of the car no reason for him to get out of the car, but he got out now you’re jacking him up about legal carrying that he can’t carry while you talk to him. No, either writing a citation or fuck off that’s how it works.

The same law that allows him to carry a gun is the same law that allows the driver to carry! One disarming another is a violation of second amendment! If all are going to disarm to talk to each other, that would be fair!

Just the pignorance of an officer. Anybody know one, and notice that they're always the smartest in the room? Most of em skim through life only grasping what's useful in controlling every person around them. In my interactions they'll never admit they don't know something

@Talmud_is_evil

stop kissing the pigs ass!!!hes not a Sir hes a bitch!acab

Did return the ammunition to Travis? If not that should be considered theft. Unfortunately in today's environment this is a rough call, since it's only for a brake light then I agree with Travis that this deputy probably should not be out on patrol. The other issue here is have the deputy disarm him is scary situation. I've at least 2 incidents where the police officer was not in any qualified to touch a gun. Because of the officer's mishandling of the weapon civilians were injured by the incompetence of the officer.
