May of 2004, I was driving east on hiway 50 back to my home in Boulder, CO. I was in Sevier County, Utah. I was driving full speed at 64 mph in my !982, air-cooled, 68 horsepower Volkswagon Vanagon.

deputy hillin pulled me over and claimed I was driving 67 mph in a 65 mph zone. I gave hillin my licensse, registration, and insurance. All cleared and I have no warrants. But hillin asks if he could search my van. I deny his request and simply say I want to be on my way. hillin asks again. I say, "No" again. hillin then asks why I won't let him search and I don't answer himbut instead say, "state your probable cause or let me be on my way".

hillin called in for a drug sniffing K9 and they find a 1/2 oz of sticky icky in the back of my van.

I go to jail. I bail out. I research law in the law library. I get all criminal charges dismissed. I have now filed a pro se 1983 civil rights violation lawsuit in the US federal court in Salt Lake City.

I did interrogatories, depositions (which cost me a ton for a court reporter), and now have a hearing in Dec to see if it goes to trial. I'm not lawyer but I can kick a cop's ass in court!:dance:
