I'm a resident of Colorado and due to the nature of my job, I travel often by car. I was pulled over by New Mexico State Trooper near Clayton (doing 80 in a 60 mph zone... was in the middle of nowhere).
Was interesting, as he approached my window, he was quite stern... bordering on unpleasant. I handed him my ID and CCW Permit and told him what I was handing him. After he looked at it, he all of a sudden was Officer Friendly. We shared a pleasant conversation about the economy, weather and such. He sent me on my way with a warning and encouragement to slow down.
I confess I was nervous initially.
I have noticed, that since my state legalized pot, I feel like I get a little more attention from out of state LE. Can't blame them for that.
