Family night out for pizza in small town USA . WRONG !

It was Friday April 24th roughly 8pm when a very pleasant and innocent evening took a turn for the worse.
Earlier in the day I had picked up my daughter who is a senior at a division one college. Graduation is only a couple weeks away. We were on our way home for the weekend when she thought of a pleasant idea. We ought to have pizza this evening dad, she said. My second son , daughter in law and first daughter were all going to be home with myself and my daughter.
When we arrived home I wrote a note and stuck it in the kitchen to let all who were returning home that we were going to go out for pizza.
This decision brought smiles and anticipation to all that read it. For we haven't been out together on the town for some time due to the different directions each one of us took on a daily bases due to work, college, visits, chores etc..
My son was the last to arrive home and find out the news that we were going out to eat for a family event. Little did we know at the time that the excitement and anticipation of a pleasant evening out was about to take a turn.
The five of us refreshed ourselves up from the days activities and prepared to leave for a nice evening out. I am a father/grandfather, military veteran, my son who was sitting in the front passenger side of the vehicle is a computer tech specialist, son, brother and pastor. I was the designated operator of the vehicle we were taking. My youngest daughter sat directly behind me. As I already have mentioned, she is a senior at a college university due to graduate the beginning of May. Next to my youngest daughter was my oldest daughter who also is in college taking classes towards the development of a masters, and my daughter in law who was setting next to the door in the back passenger side of the vehicle is on staff at a college university and pursuing her masters as well.
Now that I have set up the setting for the evening we were about to embark on the story starts to get very interesting.
We live in the country just outside a small town. This town might have two thousand people if that many. A state high way is only a minute or two away from our home which is outside of the small town.
We proceeded to get on the highway which would lead us to a city approximately fifteen minutes away that has been hit hard by our current monetary and economic crisis.
We had just stopped and gone through a a four way blinking light intersection. After proceeding through the intersection I and a couple others noticed a county law enforcement vehicle in the opposite lane approaching the intersection that we had just gone through. One of my daughters mentioned that she thought the individual driving the law enforcement vehicle had looked at our vehicle with much interest. Not long after she said that statement I looked in my rear view mirror and sure enough the two deputies in the vehicle who had just passed had turned around with their lights blinking and were directly behind our vehicle. So I, being a abiding citizen pulled over to stop while at the same time wondering what it was I had done to provoke this upcoming event.
After rolling my window most of the way down a female deputy walked up with that ever pleasing tyrannical personality that most of our law enforcement are blessed with nowadays. I said hello and she said I pulled you over because the passenger in the front did not have a seat belt on. And then leaned over to direct a question to my son sitting in the passenger seat when she said to me, "you have done nothing wrong". I repeated her comment and she responded in the same pleasant tyrannical sound, "that's right you have done nothing wrong."She then asked my son if there was a reason that he wasn't wearing a seat belt. Before I could tell him he didn't have to respond to that question he said," I just haven't thought to put it on mam.
She then asked for my drivers license, and the registration to the car.
Because I believe we have to pick and choose our battles I decided to go along with the deputy and give her my license and registration. This is where the evening takes a definite turn. She then asked my son for his license I.D. He responded that he didn't have his I.D. with him. She then asked for his name and social security number. He gave the information her realizing that her countenance had risen another level towards the police state that we all have seen and watched but not experienced so much.
By this time one of the small town officers had showed up with his nsa looking uniform and attitude.The deputy then went into another mode. She asked if there were any weapons in the car. I responded that I wasn't aware of any weapons in the vehicle. Thinking that I might not know what she means by weapons. She then said, "you don't know if there are any weapons in the car?" I responded that it was my sons car and I was the operator only. At that time all of the back seat responded one after the other, "I do not have a weapon". My son said he didn't have a weapon. The deputy rattled a few other insignificant questions of where we were heading and where we were coming from, etc.. she then said wait here and I will be right back.
Long story short the second deputy riding with the deputy that approached us as well as the nsa looking officer came up to the vehicle. They proceeded to try and talk my son out of the car making statements like you need to get out of the car because you can not identify yourself. Which was false. He had just given his I.D, information to the first deputy. Another comment was made that it was the law that everyone in a vehicle has to carry a I.D..
Things were starting to heat up when the small town officer told my son that he wanted him out of the car because he (my son) was a threat to his (the officer) safety because he didn't have an I.D. and couldn't identify himself. I quickly stepped in to inform the officer that he had already given that information and what law was there that required my son to step out of our private vehicle when we have committed no offense. My son then repeated his name and social security number. I had locked the doors before this event had started.
The officer was pulling on the handle demanding that my son get out of the car so he could pat him down to find out if he had any I.D, on him. I again repeated what have we done to provoke this illegal tactic. The officer proceeded to threaten my son. I told my son not to roll his window down and not to get out of the car.
I knew what might happen if he did. At this time both the second deputy and the officer were both yelling that my son was not complying and that if he didn't get out of the car he would be arrested and or thrown in jail.
I then raised my voice close to the same level as the deputy next to me. During this time the deputy next to me had went to grab my shoulder and appeared to reach in to grab the keys out of the ignition when I pulled my shoulder back and put both of my hands on top of my steering wheel, I quoted the fourth amendment and that we have not done anything to warrant the actions being taken. After I quoted the fourth amendment and asked what law have we broken and what law says that my son has to get out of the car because he doesn't have a I.D..
As you can tell the situation was starting to get serious and out of hand. All I could see was what was developing and that the safety of my children was being jeopardized. The officer then reached down for his side arm as to withdrawal it from his belt. I leaned over across my son and raised my voice at the officer to distract him repeating the question over, what law has he broken warranting his removal and threat for arrest.
Strangely enough, at that immediate moment the first deputy returned on the passenger side of the vehicle stepping between the passenger door and the small town officer. She paused and looked at the officer and then looked at my son. She then handed my son the car registration, my license and a printout for a ticket for not wearing a seat belt.
By the way the computer print out had all the information printed on my sons license on it. That's right, the print out had all information identifying my son from what he had told them. All the information was correct as we had said.
The female deputy then said we were free to go. I calmly pulled away for our pleasant family night out on the town.
This situation was about five seconds from being a possible terminal event. I already knew how I was going to respond if the officer pulled out his weapon. I have had special training and have been debating rather to take all of my adult children to a legitimate weapons training weekend and self defense classes.
I have been following many grassroots building organizations for freedom the past few years. I've tried to stay updated and in condition for any emergency. I also kept trying to convince myself that there still is good people in America and we should be safe here in the Midwest. After this event I have been persuaded to upgrade my family protection to def con two.
This event was a eye opener for my children who always thought I was to serious about the police state, chem trails, over powering and over sized government and over all tyrannical state that this country is becoming .
We, including myself a veteran once again are all training for self defense both physically and mentally as well as weapons training. I am looking to purchase weapons for my children for self defense.
Oh, and by the way my son was a delegate last year during Congressman Paul's run for the presidency. We were active in the grassroots movement. We attended Ron Paul rally's. Educated ourselves on laws, the constitution, declaration of independents, and discussed many more topics and attended many more conferences. I and my children have personally met Ron Paul at a Rally. We have not done these things only because of Ron Paul or a party. We have and are continuing to get involved because we do not want to have to put up with what we did this past Friday for the rest of our lives. This is the United State of America. A republic of and for the people.
I know this story was long. I gave you the short version. My family and I do not fear corruption more. We are now more determined to fight for our freedoms and liberties.
I lost my six month old granddaughter a little over a year ago to a heart disease. I won't get into why I believe she was born with it. But I do know this. Our government is out of control and we cannot set by and let this country be over ran by a small group of bankers and corrupt thinking politicians only there to pad their own pockets.
Get involved.
