Just because your brother inlaw was driving drunk is not a reason to search you, you were not breaking the law. The only leagal reason I can see for them too search you is if they smelled it, then they have the right.

I am not a lawer but I know my rights.
Well, here in TN all cops have the right to give ANY person a "terri" search, or search for weapons for the officer's safty. I had the bud in a jar, and according to the lawer I talked to if they feel a medium to large, solid object in a pocket they can make sure it is not a weapon by having you pull it out, or in my case pulling it out themselves after I assure them it's not a weapon. Never the less, the cop that pulled us over was a K9 unit, so if they wanted to bust me they would have anyway. I know my rights, but police have getting around them down to a science. They have bi-laws for just about every right you have.
dylan Reviewed by dylan on . Busted again Ya, I got another possession charge the other day. It looks like I will be back on probation, and have to pay a bunch of money out. I'm sooo pissed!! These stupid cops bust me with a couple grams, and now I'm up to my eyeballs in stress. I still can't believe it's a crime to have a few buds. UUUGGGHHHH!!! Rating: 5
