Yes, a minor traffic infraction IS indeed a crime. I mean, would the Trooper give you a bouquet of flowers for speeding? Or a ticket?
So yes, you DID comit a crime. He had every right to disarm you while he was conducting business. Officer safety.
I expect several on here to disagree with me, of course.
I agree with you because you are a JBT!!
Seriously though,
i would always do as they asked. I have committed a crime and I will comply as instructed. The sign on the highway is the limit, not the suggested point to go over the limit.
I have never got a ticket that i did not deserve. I'm just sayin
