I never said otherwise. However, a Canadian plated pickup truck in Florida full of drywall tools and drywall coming and going from a contractors office to a construction site driven by a subject in his late 20's to 50's would be. That is why you have to take to whole picture into account.

I know a few too. However, the ones I know are only doing admin work. They are in no way involved in any investigation or enforcement and are arguably LEO's in title only. They do no enforcement and are really not happy about what they are doing.
