True because a cop can search you for weapons. ---

havent you had alot of illegal drug problems in the passed? good luck. personally i would not sue the town. i would let my charges get dismissed and be done with it. you sue the town you are going to be looking at alot of lawyer fees and a long drawn out trial. not worth it imo. ---

> [@theblue](#): > > anybody? “Against this important interest we are asked to weigh the intrusion into the driver’s personal liberty occasioned not by the initial stop of the vehicle, which was admittedly justified, but by the order to get out of the car. We think this additional intrusion can only be described as de minimis. The driver is being asked to expose to view very little more of his person than is already exposed. The police have already lawfully decided that the driver shall be briefly detained; the only question is whether he shall spend that period sitting in the driver’s seat of his car or standing alongside it. Not only is the insistence of the police on the latter choice not a “serious intrusion upon the sanctity of the person,” but it hardly rises to the level of a “petty indignity.'” Terry v. Ohio, supra, at 17. What is at most a mere inconvenience cannot prevail when balanced against legitimate concerns for the officer’s safety.” Pennsylvania v. Mimms, 434 U.S. 106 (1977) Once an officer conducts a stop of a vehicle, the officer may also _require_ the stopped motorist and even the passengers in the vehicle to leave the car. See also: Maryland v. Wilson, 519 U.S. 408 (1997) ---

My lawyer already did his thing and after my charges are taken care of there will be no civil suit against the city. The only reason it would have happened in the first place is if they were going to be dick heads about a whole separate undisclosed part of the incident. I appreciate the little advice people gave me, and enjoyed all the fairy tale speculation… thanks. ---

If the officer said he thought you were under the influence because your eyes looked “glassy” there is his probable cause to search your car right there, its his discretion to give you sobriety tests or not. Also what was so illegal to his search of the vehicle? ---

If I wanted everyone to discuss that for 7 pages, I would have titled this “WAS THIS AN ILLEGAL SEARCH?” and gave the full story. im confused as to why this is so confusing for so many of you oh my dear lord.
