if you really did graduate
Ah... You got me. Technically I didn't graduate I transfered to a 4 year college just a few classes short of graduating.
I didn't really have much of a choice on the search though. He didn't ask or anything just reached over started patting me down and sticking hands in pockets. One pocket made a crinkling noise and he got all serious whats that. I'm like just a bunch of old receipts.

you have a choice. you step back and be like "you can't do that, i did not consent to a search and you don't have probable cause."

The Terry v. Ohio case created the "weapons search", "terry search", or "terry pat" exception to the 4th Amendment 'probable cause requirement' for searches. The court ruled that if a police officer "[has] reasonable cause to believe that [someone] might be armed" they can require they submit to a quick patdown. What this has meant is that it is now standard practice to pat down anyone that a LEO wants to, without the need for arrest, probable cause, or even suspicion of a crime.
Many police use weapons pats as a way to intimidate and harass citizens, since it is a power the courts have allowed them to use with little justification. Often a LEO will find something during their patdown which is clearly not a weapon which they would like to see, but this is beyond their Court-approved authority
I was thinking he had the right to pat me down but not actually take anything out of my pockets which he did. That is probably why he asked me if I had any weapons. He probably knew I didn't and was just hoping to find some drugs. I should have at least said I didn't consent to a warrant-less search, but I wasn't really worried I didn't have anything on me and I was just ready to get out of there.

as far as vehicals they have to actually see the probable cause inside it(if it isnt you/your breathe/smell), as far as you go if they feel something that feels like a weapon(knife,gun) then you gotta empty your pockets otherwise that guy was just a dick

Be more assertive and play the game wisely.
He shouldn't have searched your person, and you should have been walking away from his dumb ass by that point anyway.
