On the video, Staten tells the officer he has a license for a concealed handgun. Staten was carrying a .38-caliber handgun at the time of the incident.
Under the state handgun laws at the time, when someone was approached by police for identification, he was required to show the concealed-handgun license.
The dash-cam video is incomplete(?), and doesn't show the officer asking for ID; all I saw was the dude getting the habeas grabbus put on him.
I don't know how, or if, a civil jury will be sympathetic .... it looks like business as usual for LE.
