So, you had the radio on when the officer pulled you over and came up to your window?

You deserved the search.

Police officer pulls you over: Keys out of ignition, radio off, hands on steering wheel, and don't be an asshole.

Wow, I just found a bigger idiot.

God you're a moron. So many reasons...

Hmmm... No... No I don't think so. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time, in this case take drugs = 45 minutes, not bad really.

Really just 1 reason. Things found during an illegal search cannot be used as evidence in court. Things found during a legal can be used. Oh and they'll find shit you didn't even know was illegal. Your daughter drops one of her midol pills on the floor and the cop wants to hold you until they figure out what it is. It could be meth or something!

I don't think that would hold up in court and in the UK the police have the right (as they should) to search your car.
 
Here in Honolulu, if the Cop can hear your stereo from 30 feet away - not loud, just hear - they can cite you for a noise violation (I successfully prosecuted some poor kid for this while in law school...cop was driving on the opposite side of a four lane street, heard the kids stereo as he was parked on the other side of the road waiting to pick up his GF, copp pulled around and cited him. Judge found the kid guilty.

It's a legal search as soon as he gives them permission. When he said, "any other time your more then welcome to search my car", he gave them permission. Any other time would be any time other than when he said that, which would include the moment after he said it.

Heller's an idiot, but there are people here spouting ideas far more idiotic about this issue.

I dinged neckarb for advising someone to be complicit in the removal of their own rights.

You're so stupid you can not even comprehend why I think so.

It's probably not your fault in that you grew up in socialist nightmare of a country, then again, so did many free men...

Indeed. You need to be very explicit when speaking legally. That includes police as well as judges and lawyers. Don't give a "well, maybe, sort of" answer. Give a firm yes or no. I do not give consent to a search.

I love it when people try to insult me, like they know better, with no explanation as to why. It amuses me, continue :biggrin:

Wow? Seriously? Noooooo.... you are so wrong on this its ridiculous. Semantics? Word games? Really?!?!?!?

You become part of the problem when you agreed to prosecute someone based on a clearly faulty law. Poor you really.

Yep, UK police should have the right to search *their* citizen's houses, cars, pockets, anal cavities, etc. The rest of us came over to this side of the pond to get away from stupid shit like that a long time ago. Ironically, it seems that even you Brits didn't have to bend over and take it until the last decade or so. Now, you just keep pissing away all of your rights, one by one.

I don't care what you think. I'm not insulting you to piss you off. If this was a private conversation, that would be the only valid reason, but in public here, it's more about letting other people know that when they think you are an idiot after they read your drivle, that they are not alone.

The police should have the right to do all of that if they've got legitimate reason. That's how things get done. I love how american's think they live in the land of the free, where people should be able to wander around with a gun or spew hate speech like the WBC and it's a good thing?! Ha. I say take away the guns, take away the hate speech and then let people be free. It works.

They are up to "by the dozen".

Love you too sweetcheeks, you do make my laugh, calling me an idiot without explaning why you enjoy yourself. Let people know what you think, with any luck it will amuse them like it amuses me. :biggrin:

Free to do as "we" say is not free, idiot.

People that think you're an idiot already know why I think you're an idiot. People that need it spelled out.. well let's just lump them in.
 
If I can do whatever I want without breaking the law then I'm free. If however I'm free to do whatever I want law be damned, that's not freedom it's chaos. Idiot.

That's why we have freedom here, and you have whatever it is you call it there, because people do not agree on things.

You're just as bad as the WBC if you want freedom to only apply to what fits in your narrow world view.

Yep your "freedom" results in over 16,000 gun related suicides in 2000 while we had 42 deaths from guns total. I'm happy where i am.

At one time it was called fascism. You could be randomly stopped and questioned for no reason at all. They could search through your pockets, your purse, your motor carriage, etc. Occasionally they would check if houses contained jews in the attic.
