License plate scanners have been a hotly debated topic due to concerns about an intrusion on privacy, and a recent police stop in Kansas will only add to those fears.

Prairie Village attorney Mark Molner told local media that a law enforcement officer pulled him over and approached with his service weapon out of its holster. Molner was on the way back from a sonogram appointment with his wife.

“As there were tons of cars around me, I was not certain who they were pulling over, but as I had been at the light some time, I did not think that I had had the opportunity to do anything to interest the officers, so when traffic permitted, I pulled forward with it, slowly,” Molner told the Prairie Village Post. “At that time, the cruiser darted in front of me and attempted to pin me by parking diagonally across both lanes of traffic, and the motorcycle took up a place directly behind me.”

While the Prairie Village police officer did not point his gun directly at him, it was drawn.

“I am guessing that he saw the shock and horror on my face and realized that I was unlikely to make a scene,” Molner added.
