I do recall getting pulled over at random in Shelby Twp. back in the seventies. It was controversial back then too. I think they had to justify it as an "automotive safety check" to make it legal. I had a scary-looking BB gun in full view in the back seat but the officer looked it over and pretty much waved me on.
