have been known to do this. I believe Bill Jordan has noted it, with wry amusement, in one of his books.
Often the "back-up" on a police officer's ankle is a confiscated weapon that wasn't turned in, thus providing an untraceable weapon that can be used in an emergency either to replace the (lost/broken) duty weapon, or to excuse an unrighteous shoot by posthumously arming the victim.
