You're lucky, my brother was returning from hunting and pulled over for speeding as well, with his buddies in the truck. The rifles were in the back and the pistols under the seat but all the ammo was in the back too. My brother also fessed up to the weapons and their location right away but this caused the officer to have everyone get out of the car, put my brother on the hood, searched him, arrested him and confiscated all the pistols for failure to keep, ( pistols need to be out of reach of any passengers and in a lockable container so as to make drive-bys less easy to do).
Thankfully the judge ruled in my brother's favor that the officer didn't have the right to do what he did. Needless to say having him call from the police station needing to be bailed out as well as have his car picked up from the side of the road got him in A LOT of trouble with pop.
But for Kadagar's theory well it was three occupants two white and one hapa-haole (white/hawaiian). The truck was a beat-up 80's 4-runner painted camouflage, and my brother wears shirts with the sleeves torn off. He was to the point and says he was polite but i wasn't there so I can't testify to that (experience says he was probably polite but agitated sounding).
