I believe it needs to be kept in the trunk, that's what my dad told me when he got his license over 20 years ago though. However it is completely irrelevant. they found the gun after the guy booted him

If you get a chance to see the video again, you will notice that the shotgun had a trigger lock on it when a uniformed officer removed it from the vehicle.

As far as transportation goes, the gun and the ammunition cannot be in the same compartment. So if you're driving along, the ammo has to be in the cabin of your car while the gun is in your trunk or vice-versa.

You CANNOT have both items within arms reach of the driver.

that was some shitty censoring of the granny

according to Canadian Firearms Law, for transportation of a Non restricted firearms (and the shotgun in this case is non restricted) is that it must be unloaded. That is the only law, if you are physically present in the vehicle, the law does not deal with ammunition in the case of transportation.

That definitely looks like excessive force to me, for the time being I'm gonna side with the officer being out of line here, but of course you never know what was said by either party, or what looks to have been removed from the video. There's definitely a lot missing as of right now.

The officer may have added that before removing it for safety, the report at the end of all this should say.

I hope the officer gets charged, cops always seem to abuse the power they have and usually get away with it

Those of you who "side with the cops", can now get off your high horse, because even the cops say the cop was out of line.

cop has history

motherfuker should be tied up and everyone gets to boot his face

I just came in here to express my hate for douchebag cops who got bullied in high school and pulling stunts like this to make themselves feel big.
I'm usually a friendly loving person.
So call me ignorant, but I just hate 99% of cops.
That is all. :)
