If you are stopped for anything , do you show you retired shield or tell the officer you are a retired police officer ????

Looks like it depends on whether or not the dog was walking "30%" above the dog walk speed limit:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I know this is a little off topic but to answer your question I have not been stopped by the police for anything. However if I'm stopped I will show him my retired ID but not for the reason of getting out of a ticket but because of the concealed weapon I have. I don't want to startle him/her when I reach for my wallet and my weapon becomes visible.

I actually drive pretty slow after a five year assignment in the traffic division. One of my duties was to conduct death notifications to the families of the deceased. It was by far the hardest time of my career. Speed by itself doesn't cause crashes but it's hard to violate the laws of physics.

In Florida you don not have to tell the LEO you have a concealed weapon in your car if you are stopped.

IMHO-it would be great if your driver's license had a CCW endorsement on it.

I agree about the endorsement- great idea. However, I don't want to be dead right.
