“Ten minutes after an officer took Filippidis’ license, registration and proof of insurance to his patrol car, he returned the documents, ordered him out of the vehicle and told him to hook his thumbs behind his back and spread his legs. ‘You own a gun,’ the officer said. ‘Where is it?’ ‘At home in my safe,’ Filippidis replied. Right about this time, one has to ask, How did they know he was a gun owner? And why was he stopped in the first place? The officer called in backup and spent the next two hours searching the Explorer and its contents. Probable cause of what? Legally possessing a firearm?”
