Do any police officers carry their weapon and their handcuffs off duty???
Just incase they see a crime??
Say a police officer from Lubbock, Tx is going on a trip to Dallas and stops in Guthrie, Tx (Town Where I Grew Up Only About 200 People) And they witness a robbery at the local Texaco and have the opportunity to stop them and put them in cuffs. Would this be legal???
Not doubt Jr. Daniel the King County Sheriff would say thanks and let you go on your trip after filling out a statement but would you be breaking any state laws. (In any state) I'm guessing their could be something in your department code that you could be breaking though too.
Would your insurance cover it if you were injured. And what if you were sued??
Thanks.
