Cops Searching Cars
    #4926669 - 11/12/05 06:36 PM (18 years, 3 months ago)

Alright I know theres a similar post to this.

But seriously

Does anyone know the law, one thing I do worry about is my car being searched when I have a bag of weed on me. I have on 01 durango and i found out that you lift the center console where the cup holders are and theres a nice lil stash spot. It can be easily detected by dogs and i dunno how good cops are at searching.

Is it true you can just say no? And they can't really do anything. If you know the 100 percent truth when it comes to cops searching cars, post what you know please lol.

thanks

it's absolutely true that you can just say no.

But it's also absolutely true that the constitution is in a state of constant erosion as police and government take more and more rights away in the name of the war on terror and the war on drugs.

Regardless, just say no.
Police are bad, mmmkay?

Basically put, you don't have to answer any questions, at all... you can say no. And then when you say no if the cop says some bullshit like or "I'm going to go get a drug dog then..." immediately ask "Am I free to leave?" because they can't really detain you for a drug dog... that means they have no probable cause....

if they say no say something like "Then I assume that this conversation is being tape recorded to use as evidence to protect me. I ask that you state what I am being detained for and again assert that I do not consent to any searches whatsoever. What am I being detained for?"
[of course try having the cool head to say something like that :/ ]

etc....... just fuck with them but be polite, so they know that you know your rights and you won't be an easy arrest.

In America the 5th amendmant means you can refuse to answer whatever you want, and the 4th amendmant gives you some safety from traffic searches.

But pleading the 5th sure doesn't do shit in a court of law to save you, generally, for petty crimes, etc... it's just better for you to have on your record than pleading guilty.
[NEVER plead guilty to anything, if you are going to accept a speeding ticket, plead no contest and pay for it, but NEVER plead guilty.. this is something a lawyer taught me when I got a careless driving citation]

If they have probable cause you can say no all you want but they're still going to search your car. And yes the scent of marijuana is probably cause. And no a lot of cops don't play by the rules. You're best off keeping pot out of the car except for when it is absolutely necessary and in that case you need a good stash spot/container. Zippoz posted a damn good idea in a thread on the same topic today.

it's absolutely true that you can just say no.

leery11's right, but also keep in mind that the cops can detain you, without searching your car, until a dog arrives. If the dog indicates drugs are in your car (and they are v-e-r-y good at it) then the cops will have probable cause to legally search without your consent.

One more thing: nothing prevents a cop from searching without your consent and lying about it. I know for a fact it happens.

Your best bet when transporting drugs in your car is to make sure your tag is current, all your lights work, and the tread on your tires is up to snuff.

Then, drive the speed limit like a little old lady.

i don't think they can detain you for a dog, legally... what they can do is sit around in their cars wasting tons of time to "write you a ticket" while their dog buddy shows up.....

that's why you ask "am i free to go" and yeah, they can be corrupt and then you're pretty much fucked.....

all that means is the cop was nice and didn't feel like hassling you.

While many police are honest and will probably at least pretend to care if you consent to search or not, it all depends. The police here (Milwaukee) have a long track record of racism. I'm whiter, but I have alot of black friends, and many of them have had experiences with police searches where they've denied searches and just had a cop say "Whatever, nigger" and do whatever they wanted.

Seriously, in court, its your word against his. Sure if you can afford a nice lawyer your proably set. But if your dirt poor, or god forbid, a minority, your going to have a real tough time asserting your constitutional rights.

Dont get me wrong, I'm all for denying searches as a matter of principle. I have my ACLU card in my wallet. But its not always that easy for everyone...

In Indiana there is something called Implied Consent and I'm pretty sure many other states have it as well. If you accept the IN Driver's License you consent to having your car searched automatically. In Indiana, if you have an IN driver's license, the cops can search your car any time you are operating it.

this says implied consent only applies to breathalyzer tests, etc......

You are wrong, sorry. When a cop smells pot in your car the scent gives him probable cause. This is a fact.

yeah that cop was just cool, depends where you live too. my brother lives in california and he was in west hollywood one night at a hotel for his 21st birthday and him and his friend had a huge sack of weed and they were just rolling joint after joint and they were laughing all night and the cops knocked on their door along with hotel security. hotel security said they been getting a lot of noise complaints and my brother said sorry and the cop asked "you boys been smoking weed in there" my brother (who was blazed) just smiled and nodded his head. the cop said "enough is enough" and they left. of course my brother was extremely lucky

i dont hotbox or even smoke a bowl in my car anymore cause for some reason the smell stays in my car for 3-4 days. but i heard theres some spray you can buy at headshops (i'll get the name of it later) but it takes any smell out right away (i heard its instant)

the problem is im more than a daily smoker so im transporting drugs to my house quite often (well i used to, im being drug tested now, long story, but im gonna start again in march) so its hard to be following traffic laws all the time.

i also heard that the patriot act gives cops the liberty to search your car without reasonable cause?

I don't know if you saw my post in the other thread, but I told a cop "No" myself. As a result of reading more about it on the internet's best website.....The Shroomery, I was able to better prepare myself. When he asked me, I was ready with a response and response for his response to that. It worked. I got away with weed and Adderall. I was so happy to be free.
