I’m a white boy from OP too, and every other douche in that school smoked weed, or was up to something else equally retarded. Would you feel better if you were a black dude from the west side? Then you’d call racism. Cops aren’t supposed to profile, just apply the law equally. In your hypothetical situation, if that actually happened you’d be the guy to escalate the situation and end up in cuffs. And if you were pulled for a tail light and your vehicle was searched, you probably consented even if you didn’t realize it.

My “hypothetical situation” did happen, and because the officer violated my rights, both my speeding and tint ticket were dropped in court. 🙂

The guy in the car was completely wrong. The bp agents have the right to pull him to the side for questioning, not a search. If the questioning provides pc for a search, only then can they search the vehicle. He flatly refused to comply with anything the bp agents said, and managed to be a complete dick about it too. I wish they would have put him under arrest and read him the rights that he really has.

A taillight out or even speeding does not automatically give a LEO the right to search your vehicle. They can ask you out of the vehicle but unless they have a specific suspicion of wrong doing in progress other than a traffic infraction they need consent to search your vehicle. If they see something in plain view or your actions dictate it, they can search your vehicle without a warrant.

I would NEVER fuck with ANY customs/BP agent. They have a fucking tough job, and they do their jobs very well and they deal with A LOT of scum.  
I have ut-most respect for them and I think the guy in the vid was being a douchey

So your officer made a mistake. That doesn’t change the fact that there’s plenty of situations just like yours that the officer acts within the law.

Btw I was pulled over in cheektowaga a few months ago for a license plate bulb being out. The officer politely asked me to step out of the car, and politely asked me if he could search the vehicle. I refused, he asked me a few questions and let me go. Not all cops are out to get you.

but really… they can search your vehicle no matter what when being pulley over

usually they do not care enough, unless you do something to make them care

> Any time an officer has to ask you whether he can search you or your property, it means that he cannot legally search you without your consent. Refusal to allow a search and insistence on your constitutional rights _does not_ give rise to probable cause, which would allow the police to search you or obtain a warrant. However, the way in which you refuse a search request could give rise to probable cause.

General rule of thumb, if they ask if they can search, they can’t. They’ll just do it if the have cause to and can.

I think what he’s trying to say is that if a police officer really wants to search your vehicle, he can and there’s not much you can do about it, and they can come up with a reason later. I’ve seen a cop or two like this, but thankfully 95% of them are good people doing their job.

Edit: Night, gotta get to bed early. Going in for the BP agent exam tomorrow. :lol:

Yeah, get more than 2 hours of sleep, which I didn’t

KNOW YOUR verbs,proverbs,adjectives ect… and pay attention to pre and suffixes.

Just use common sense, if you’re not retarded you will pass, about 100 people took the exam and i’d say maybe 60 or so passed it.

I believe I got a 92 back in September. Everything is completed except the background check, which is still pending. I don’t know why this is taking so long. lol. They did say 6-9 months though…

yeah, the agent said 4-6 months from the time you apply…  
I am worried about my Highschool 4 years coming back to bite me ☹

I wouldn’t let anyone search my car without a warrant either. If you do you are setting yourself up for prosecution. It’s the same reason you don’t speak to the police if you didn’t do it and have no information about whatever it is. Saying something the wrong way can get you in trouble if the police think you did do it. Thats why we have these rights, so the innocent can’t be unjustly tried.
