Off my beat, too. No requirement to tell about guns in the car where I come from, we just assumed everyone had one. It's safer that way. It's legal to carry in your car with a Firearms License, (on your person) and legal inside a car if it's not on your person. (In my state.)
I didn't mind them lying to me, in fact, I expect it. I never was a traffic cop, though. In fact, come to think of it, I liked them to lie, since it was a contest I could always win. Most liars are so transparent it's not even close.
TomSmith, it's possible you don't understand Ammendment 4 if you make blanket statements like you did. "It's just a traffic stop" isn't an eternal truth.
