No but a trooper can't leave minor children "stranded". Adults aren't so lucky. Believe me the paperwork involved has saved a lot of folks from going to jail on my shift.

While we are piling on, I'll share that a Captain of the South Coffeyville PD admonished me because my weapon was not visible at the time he walked up to the vehicle. Sure, I notified him when he got to my window, but sometime between him lighting me up and approaching my car, I was supposed to have produced the weapon and laid it on the dash along with my license.
Because drawing a gun from my pants while an officer is approaching is a wise idea.
He even threatened to seize my firearm for not having it laid out for him to see. I guess he missed the parts in the SDA that reference what authority he has. I don't sweat it as the outcome was not affected, but it is frustrating and could have gotten messy (legally) in a hurry had he tried to confiscate my weapon.
For the record, OHP was very professional when dealing with me last summer. Even let me keep the car running (with the wife and kids in it) while he wrote me my warning.

Thanks GC!! Explained and you took the time to reference it... Moving on...
I do have a funny OHP story. I was stopped twice by the same trooper for speeding. The first time he let me go with a warning and we discussed the arsenal in my car. The second time (a few weeks later), he also gave me a warning but I think that's because he saw how embarrassed I was to be wearing my wife's glitzy sunglasses (as I had left mine at home). He said, "Mr. Books, it takes a miiiiighty confident man to wear those glasses." I figured he didn't want to further emasculate me with a ticket.
South Coffeyville is a gas station or two and some houses on the Oklahoma side of the state line.
My lady friend got stopped by OHP for her tag being out by about 4 months. We didn't receive the little card and I thought they weren't due until September. Feller let her get to work with a stern warning to get it fixed. I took off at lunch and got her new tag that day. Ginger wrath >> OHP wrath.
