Know your rights.
This is an ACLU informercial on search and seizure law.
These situations are very common -- and the ways that the cops will try to get around the laws are DEFINETLY common, and normal practices.
Pay Close attention.
Most people know their rights, but not how to assert them. Enjoy.

as i got older the cops realized they had to go by the book
when your young they do whatever [knees in your throat,pepperspray,baton to the legs]
if they try that shit now
ima make the "punk police buy my coop"
^ it is all how you go about saying it. Telling a cop that you don't consent to a search may not stop them from doing it, but it will give you grounds for appeal or reversal after. And many of the ways you can assert your rights are VERY SUBTLE. a small mishap can give them grounds for searching.
my post was directed to genuis btw ...
you are under no obligation to speak to the police.Quote:

if a cop ask, "do you mind if i look?"
remember..he/she, is asking because they have too. They have determined They have no real probable cause, so they ask. Dont be afraid to say, no.
If they ask, "why wont you let us?" Simply tell them, "it's my right"...and then say.." Am i uner arrest? if they say, "no", you say, "if that is all, i would like to go now"
They either have to tell you why you cant leave, no, you can leave.
You do not have to tell them where you are going, or where you are coming from.
Dont get mouthy with them.
Always, yes sir/maam, no maam/sir.
Never leave a clip in an opened ashtray.
My suggestion? never smoke while driving, or in your car. When i go up to my cabin i always pull over, take a walk, etc etc. Not only that, some goody two shoes with a cell phone will see you toking in the car and be on the phone to the cops, with your plate number. Be smart;)

I had a state boy come to my house last night. Claimed he was looking for trespassers, lol! Made me nervous as hell, but I stayed calm, said my yes sirs, exercised my rights, and he left.
Afterwords, (After they were off my property) I did some some cleaning...cleared all my ash trays, made sure other things were out of site, and unsearchable, went outside, and listened to some music.
Just use a little common sense and give no reason for probable cause, and you will more than likely be fine.
know your rights, though!
Great thread, btw...
