Here's a link to a state by state reference to airgun laws, RI info here:That’s interesting. I didn’t know that, even though I live in CT and go to and through Rhode Island frequently. Its also bizarre, given that RI has more firearm friendly laws than CT in some respects, like no “Assault Weapons” ban or magazine limitations!
I'm not a lawyer but, "In Criminal law, Carroll doctrine refers to a principle that permits a police officer to search an entire motor vehicle and any containers inside it if there is probable cause to believe the vehicle contains contraband or the fruits, instrumentalities or evidence of criminal activity."Warrantless searches of motor vehicles happen all day, every day. It is one of the exceptions to the 4th amendment, and is called the Carroll Doctrine.
Might as well thron in "I'm searching your car for Officer Safety." They are your rights, you can give them up if you'd like. I've never had any problem with sitting there quietly and providing the required documents. Then again, I don't knowingly break traffic laws.Vehicle searches after a traffic stop naturally have existing probable cause. Officers develop more based on behavior- like refusing to comply with simple requests, furtiveness, any odd behavior at all, etc. These types of actions often lead to a "Terry" search of the vehicle; it is not hard to develop PC, based on the observable facts. Good luck.
I think to "hop out and shoot" is a bad practice anywhere. You have no idea who may have a problem with that, or the nature of their reaction. Keep a low profile until you are on friendly ground.Ok - more interesting advice here, thanks again. Those toilet-locked guns ain’t going anywhere that’s for sure.
Now the next question: how do you find a good place to hop out and shoot a few tin cans along the way while taking a lunch/stretch/bathroom break? How far do I have to drive down a forest service road to be ok to do some plinking? or maybe i should just wait until I get to NY…
Regardless of whether you think the stop is legit or not. why would you challenge the stop by being a smart ass?Just for general information - IF you get pulled over by the police for any reason.
Do not answer any question!!!!!! Police are not your friend, they are there to Give you a ticket, make money, or arrest you.
You are only required to provide your Drivers Lisc, Registration and Insurance. Best to leave the window rolled up with a slit to pass documents through.
If they ask you to step out of the Car you must, even the passenger. SC already ruled on it.
When you do, roll up all the windows, and lock the doors. You do not have to allow them to have access to anything inside under the 4th amendment.
If they want to know what's inside, they need to get a warrant. If they claim the "Smell" something, they can request a dog come sniff the car, but the detainment cannot last an unreasonably long time.
Best to get Front and Rear view camera's installed for your trip.
Not a Cop Hater, I just like LAWS better (Read the Constitution)!

Oh, I think the guy is an A$$hat for yelling at the cop, and it's not a good practice. Yet, he did nothing Illegal.Regardless of whether you think the stop is legit or not. why would you challenge the stop by being a smart ass?
18 U.S. Code § 926A - Interstate transportation of firearms
Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof,
any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm
if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.
(Added Pub. L. 99–360, § 1(a), July 8, 1986, 100 Stat. 766.

The police got his feelings hurt, and reacted poorly (making my case for more training) by pulling him over under the guise of "Checking if he was ok" (The SC has ruled several times that Police do not have to protect you or see if you are ok.)
Than the police lied to him about his turn signal (the SC has ruled that Police can lie to you, but you can't lie to them.......hmmmm.).
Than the roll the window down, not a lawful order, etc. etc.
I don't bait police, and the few police at my church, we've talked about these issues. The ones I've allowed into my work building on many occasions to train their K9's, we've talked about these issues as well.
When I ran for Congress a few years back I was amazed and saddened by the fact that almost everyone I had spoken with had never read the Constitution or had any idea of our system of governance.
Like I said, I don't hate police, I like the Law.

PS Regardless of what you do, SAFE and SPEEDY TRAVELS.
If everyone did everything Police told them too, than were are our freedoms? They want to look in your house, OK, come on in - It's your 4th Amendment and if it works on you, they think it will work on others. They want to detain you for yelling at them - 1st Amendment - You give up YOUR rights, don't expect me to. They tell you to stop taking picture, 1st Amendment again you'd give up, I won't stop. Hauled in for questioning, even if you didn't do anything, You talk to them there goes your 5th Amendment, I won't.You’re the problem police act the way they do. Why not just comply and get it over with. Why play the lawyer? They’ll just scrutinize you more closely. Nope, your way of thinking will only bring you more trouble.
Agreed, take it up in court not on the street.I think most police officers are fine and in the rare event I come into contact with one when they are doing their job I try to be polite and helpful. But I am not interested in satisfying their curiosity so if they want to search my house or car they will need a warrant. I hope they never break in unannounced. It could get ugly. How are you supposed to know who it is breaking in? But I really doubt that will happen.
I don't like it when people get killed by the police. I try to carefully look at what they were doing. It seems like at least in the vast majority of cases the person who was shot was not doing what the officer told them to do. That doesn't make sense to me. If somebody with a gun tells you to do something, it seems like a much better idea to comply. If they are acting illegally there will be a chance to deal with that. Getting yourself shot doesn't help anything. It seems like it is viewed as heroic or something to disobey the officer. Just seems dumb to me. I'd like to see the disobedience stop and I think a lot of the shootings by police would also stop.
