"Go right ahead officer"

"Found it!!"

"****, I should have said no to this voluntary search, but instead I said yes, and now I'm busted!!"

My guess is, it is more a mental test. If all of a sudden some dude gets ultra squirrelly and suspicious acting, they would do what they needed to do to get a warrant based on that behaviour. Someone calmly saying "I'm not comfortable with the search." Doesn't mean guilt, it could mean he has a load of inventory for his "Butt plugs R Us" website in his trunk.

I think it is more to gauge the reaction to the request, than fulfilling the request itself. Of course the gun stealer isn't gonna just "Welp, looks like you gots me."

The CPS just tweeted this...

Spoiler!

Looking for a witness who may have had their vehicle blocked by the suspects while exiting the parking lot.

On Saturday, April 4, 2015, an off-duty police officer was the victim of a car prowling, which included the theft of a police-issue patrol rifle, as well as notebooks used by the member to record details of the officer’s on-duty interactions with the public.

The rifle and its case were recovered, however, the notebooks remain unaccounted for. Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the notebooks or the theft, is asked to contact police.

The Service is currently working to determine what information may have been contained in the notebooks. We are currently in the process of notifying between 350 to 400 people regarding a possible breach of their personal information.

Details in the notebooks could include dates of birth, home addresses and driver’s licence numbers, among other personal information. We are taking the following steps to ensure those impacted can take precautions against identity theft and fraud.

Anyone who had contact with the officer and whose information may have been breached is receiving a letter from the Service in the coming weeks, advising them of the situation and the steps that are being taken.

They can't even handle car keys yet we let them handle guns?

If I learned one thing from Better Call Saul, it's that notebooks don't just disappear.

The thought of cops eating at the Crowfoot Denny's make me "sick" in the stomach....

police said the missing notebooks helped them find the stolen rifle, which was lifted from the same vehicle April 4. Won't say how.

Maybe cops should take a new notebook or notepad with them every day? How many months(or years?) of data was in there?

?? Not much of a notebook if you can't go back and read your notes...?

This whole thing sounds fishy to me. Either that, or this cop is pretty stupid and careless.
