keep a large envelope, addressed and stamped, in your car.  if you get pulled over by the cops just toss your illegal substances into it and seal it up.  the police wouldn't be open your mail, would they?

The mail thing is a myth.  Some letter in your car isn't in the mailstream and would be treated as any other item in the car.

There is an advantage to keeping items in a small container unsuitable for guns or most knives in that terry searches would be more difficult to justify, but that's about all I can think off.

Sorry : (

Sealed containers of any kind are harder to justify, even the mail example, but this wouldn't be a serious issue to challenge.

If, on the otherhand, there was no key to the container, glovebox, and no way to open it at the time, it would help make a terry search less justifiable, as well as most probable cause searches.

If it could not be said by a reasonable officer that there was a reasonable fear of the contents of the glovebox being a threat to officer safety, then it becomes much more difficult to open it in a terry stop.  If the occupants can't access the box, then how is it a threat to the officer?

Terry searches have flimsy backing all the time, but things like this do help.  A locked box in the locked trunk is better still.  If an officer does a search based on furtive movements, for example, how could that evidence provide probable cause to open a trunk and the box within it if that couldn't be accessed by the shifty occupants and hence couldn't be directly related to the shiftiness?

These are things that are helpful to think of when driving with private things.

Something to think about also, or something that made me think. Whose address is on that envelope and what are you putting into it. That could be a completely different charge if found. Intent to send illegal stuff through the USPS, federal crime?

What if you closed an envelope up without licking it (just tucking it in) with somebody else's name on it, so that the stamp got processed and everything, then licked it shut.  Wouldn't that then need a warrant to be opened since it wasn't opened, but processed through USPS?

No, there is no magic mail exception, and something in your car or whatever isn't in the mailstream anyways.

In my case my friend stashed his oz in a mcdonalds cup. They may have found it but they stopped searching after they found my two smaller bags in the glove box.. I was thinking maybe keeping an opened bag of K3 or spice in the car wouldn't be a bad idea if you were blunt cruising or something along those lines then you could claim it was a legal substance.
