Clyde, a buddy of mine, an OPP Constable. (Ontario Provincial Police) told me of a funny tale (Well I thought it was funny) he had stopped a speeder, not far from Toronto, on the 401.
"Let go of your pants, put your hands on your ears" I know it sounds weird, but that is what he said, he said.
"Clunk" "Step back, turn around" Nice pistol, .380! Stuck in waist band.
His Sgt. was upset that he unloaded it, and put all the rounds, and magazine, in an evidence bag, with the pistol.
"How can we prove he had it, your finger prints will be all over it!"
Rob was a gun person, the thought of taking a pistol in to the Station, not unloaded did not bear thinking about. The most Officers were not gun people.
Only knew about the one they were issued.
His comment was "I will tell the Judge what happened" covered the evidence.
