If you exhibit nervous or erratic behaviour around me, then be assured I presume the possibility you're up to something, are possibly armed and my mindset immediately goes to "prepare to engage". So no, I can't fault an officer for being suspicious and then verifying no weapons present, particularly when if he didn't and a gunfight ensued the armchair quarterbacks would hold him at fault for not checking, esp. if an innocent got injured.I see it as a situation of damned if you do, damned if you don't.</blockquote>
