 I received this question in my post The debate rages on:
"Hypothetically I am pulled over for something and I am carrying my unloaded gun in a lock case which is in the trunk. Does the officer who stops me need to know that? I figure I wouldn't volunteer the information unless he asked, but is it better for me to say I have it up front?"

| Score another win for the good guys |
Man it's just been a good couple of days for truth and justice. I'm sure many of you remember the incident in TX where a homeowner say his neighbor's house being broken into by some scum. This guy calls 911 and when the police were too slow getting there, decided to stop them himself.
Long story short, he ends up shooting and killing the two career criminals. All the predictable cries of outrage came from the anti-gun folks. Race-baiters came out and condemned him as well.

| CopCAST Episode 84 - No Starbucks For You! |
 Our legion of listeners really came through for us this week. We kick things off with some great feedback from both new and veteran CopCAST listeners. If that was not good enough, our CopCAST correspondent corps continues to grow and they are providing us with some great fodder for the show
This week a Chicago cop gets the distinction of serving as our keynote story because of her passion for Starbucks coffee and pastries. A Maryland agency has a major "Oh, crap" moment when they raid the mayor's house and shoot his dogs. Will New York soon be more wired than London? You be the judge. Then there is the Longmont Pornography Age Verification Unit that is not - or something like that. Sound interesting? Well that is just a brief peek into this week's episode.

| CopCAST Episode 83 - Goodbye Scotty |
In honor of Scotty, this episode blasts off and boldly goes where no podcast has gone before. Well that may be a little over-dramatic but it is a pretty good show. We did a heck of lot better job than those guys who were supposed to send Scotty's ashes into space.
We start out with a ten year old crime fighter who dimed out his mom. The OPP are considering starting a used car business with all of their confiscated vehicles. Our sympathies go out to the friends and family of Deputy Juan Escalante of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department who was shot to death outside his home. There will be no more peeing on the doors in Torquay, Devon. A judge has ordered that a Glasgow pensioner stop going to the pub as punishment for killing his wife. We actually have proof that the 80/20 rule applies to law enforcement. And these are just a few of the stories we discuss this week.

| CopCAST Episode 82 - The Three Stooges |
The CopCAST crew had gotten larger! No, I'm not talking about Mack's increased waist size after his three week vacation. Morgan Wright, from The Thin Blue Line, has joined crew as a regular host (although some would say "irregular"). We hope that our legion of listeners will have fun listening to the new expanded CopCAST crew.
Believe it or not, we actually received several e-mails from our listeners (happy, happy, happy - joy, joy joy!). This week it was the bad guy who got surprised in Surprise, AZ. Some cops in North Carolina used text messages to turn the table on a juvenile thief. Some German women mistook the real cops for costumed strippers. We also point you to one Website where you can find the deadliest rural highways and another site that is really "Cuil". Have a business to advertise? Why not sponsor a video camera - just like NASCAR?

 Part Two: The Thin Blue Line interviews noted civil rights attorney Connie Rice about her efforts with the Advancement Project (www.advanceproj.org) and Healthy City (www.healthycity.org) to address gang crime in Los Angeles county. Her partnership with Sheriff Lee Baca is truly a novel approach as they look at gang crime from the perspective of an epidemic. Hear Connie discuss new strategies in combating a plague that has claimed more than 5800 lives over the last 10 years.

| CopCAST Episode 81 - The Record |
We have put together another fantastic show this week. Morgan Wright of the The Thin Blue Line is back in the copilot seat and the Mackster is still enjoying his vacation. Believe it or not, a prisoner actually does make his escape through the duct work this week. He just had to lose a few pounds in preparation for his great escape. Unfortunately, we have more than our fair share of mentally ill people and the murders to go alone with them, including a firefighter who is murdered while trying to extinguish a vehicle fire. A Rhode Island man gets his name in the record book but not for anything that would make his mother proud. Then there is the cable guy who goes for the ride of his life.
I know it is hard to believe but these are just a few of the stories we discuss this week. I want to thank Morgan Wright, from The Thin Blue Line for taking his time to help out with the show for the second week. It looks like we may have to put him on the payroll.

| CopCAST Episode 80 - Big Trouble |
They say that truth can be stranger than fiction and this week's show definitely supports that hypothesis. We kick things off with a talkative burglar then we move on to the inmate who decided to drop in on the police chief. Of course, we would be remiss if we did not mention the Arizona man who like to watch sparks or the Dallas dispatcher who told a murder suspect to find his own way to the department if he wanted to surrender. Of course, if you misbehave, we are not going to discipline you while we are driving down the road. You will have to listen to the show to understand what we mean.
We discuss all of these stories and more. What a fantastic week! By the way, can you believe Mack is on vacation again? Morgan Wright, from The Thin Blue Line, did a great job filling in for boat boy.

| CopCAST Episode 79 - The Goat |
This week we kick things off with a discussion of anonymous text messaging, the latest crime reporting technique is several cities. Then an Arizona man "lets his hormones get the best of him" and gets busted in the bedroom of a 15 year old girl he met on-line. We find out that some things that happen in Vegas are just too good to stay there. Do not miss the CopCAST exclusive - old people get scammed. A cop gets an Alabama woman's goat . . . and dog. Some major software and hardware makers worked in secret for months to create the software "patch" for the internet naming service. You know you are having a bad day when you try to carjack a police car with two cops inside. We even threw in a commercial for the new DataPort 25 hard drive enclosure. I know it is hard to believe but you get all this and more.
So break out the Oreos, pour a cold glass of milk, fire up the iPod, lean back and join us for the show. Don't forget to stay safe and always wear your vest!
