They guy has his permit in his hand and seems to attempt to notify the officers a couple of times. I think this is nearly worst-case scenario.... the only way it could be worse is if the cop actually followed through on his threats.

My idea of a worst case scenario: having this happen without a dash camera or microphone. This guy would have been sliced and diced by their legal system and their local rights along with him.
The storywould have read “police veterans were placed in extreme danger by negligent, derelict with a concealed carry permit.”

I also would like to think I'd be a little more insistent in announcing my status, despite being told to "shut up." I'm not sure why he didn't tell attempt to inform the officer, the sane officer, who was searching the back seat at the time. Maybe he did and we couldn't hear it?
"Officer, I am a permit holder and I am carrying."

Exactly what I was thinking.....
Chris Z:
There is absolutely no excuse for this Officer's behavior......... He better be fired, the permit holder not charged with anything, and the permit holder better file a nice suit against the Officer and Dept.
As a CHP holder, what could this guy have done different to avoid this situation?????? Don't park your car in the street and associate with a prostitute.........

I've read the prosecutor wants to dismiss all charges in exchange for the permit holder not suing. They've declined that offer :D and are going forward with a lawsuit.
In the stuff I read, he reportedly did try to inform the officer that was searching the car and was told to be quiet. He had the permit in his hand most of the time, heck even after the crazy dude went ballistic he still never took the permit from him! He was searching through the guys stuff on the trunk of the car and couldn't find the permit because he never took it from the holder.
Thank goodness for dash cameras.

Shouldn't a second audio file exist for the second officer? Don't they both have microphones?
