Question about police car searches

You can refuse to consent to a car search, but then the cops have the right to bring a dog to sniff around your car (can they let the dog in your car too?). And if the dog indicates anything then the cops have the right to search your car. Am i missing anything/off about anything? Thanks

You can refuse a search of your vehicle. That doesn't mean the cops can hold you there for a dog to sniff it out. They can only 'hold' you there for as long as the routine traffic stop would take for whatever infraction they pulled you over for. Always remember to ask if you are under arrest, if you are being detained, and then if you are free to go.

"However, the ruling does not allow police to detain you indefinitely until dogs arrive. The legitimacy of the traffic stop still depends on its duration. Basically, if police can’t bring a dog to the scene in the time it takes to run your tags and write a ticket, the use of the dog becomes constitutionally suspect. So if you’re pulled over and police threaten to call in the dogs, you are not required to consent to searches."

Don't be a retard and don't have drugs in your car.

Nothing to worry about. Not rocket science.

No I'll just drive up to the hill and automatically have four or five weed dealers ready to sell me quality marijuana for a good price.


Fuck that, if I can bring weed to school daily I think bringing it in a car won't be hard at all.

So if they do get a dog in time do you have to let it search your car?

ALWAYS REFUSE SEARCHES!

NEVER CONSENT TO A SEARCH!

If a cop says he's going to bring the dog's stay cool. Most of the time they're bluffing and trying to scare you into consenting. Even if they actually have the dogs there giving consent doesn't help you.

NEVER CONSENT TO SEARCHES


Cops are trained to fuck with you and scare you into consenting. If a cop is trying to make you consent 99% chance he doesn't have probably cause to get a warrant.

NEVER CONSENT TO SEARCHES!

Even if you think there's nothing in your car. You might think there's nothing in your car and the cop finds a roach, a seed, anything and gives you a charge. NEVER CONSENT. It's your right, don't give it up.

Good luck

Also YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. Use that shit. If you can't answer something without incriminating yourself use that shit. Don't tell them you're doing something illegal because you're scared to say otherwise.

I mean technically with legislation that's been passed recently you don't have shit for right but you kinda sorta still have the rights in the constitution generally still.


At least try to use them. Don't give them any freebies. Most people that I know that get fucked for something stupid failed to know their rights or talk to the cops properly.

Be careful. Cops are not trained to protect and serve you. Be alert, be careful and plan ahead.

You can refuse a search, but if a cop has reasonable suspicion or worse, probable cause to believe that there are drugs in your car he will search it anyway. It is only after the fact that in court that you can contest the legality of the search.
