Gregg jailer finds gun on inmate handed over by Longview Police

That's insane. I hope this shows a lot of folks that you have to conduct a better search. I don't like grabbing anyone's junk like the next guy, but if he ain't complaining about it, I'm not doing a good enough job. Squeeze em like you want em to explode!

All i can say is wow. I can imagine the look on the officer's face when he found the gun.

Despite the obvious deadly risks involved in improper searching techniques, when officers conduct poor searches, we still have some officers standing directly in front of an un-cuffed suspect, patting them down or conducting a half-assed search that would miss even the most obvious of weapons and contraband. Perhaps it is the attitudes of these officers that people are generally decent and good, and "it" will never happen to them. As for me and my partners, we will bet our survival on our trained abilities and we will search as if our lives depended on it -- because they do!
