If you do not give consent, the officer or Trooper will obtain a search warrant from the magistrates office while you wait on the side of the road, and then another officer will deliver and serve it on you! They can detain you for a reasonable amount of time as stated in the law! So, saying no to a search, will only result in a detained visit , while another officer delivers a search warrant to search your car or belongings! Some HP agencies can even have a copy sent to there computer terminal so they can print the search warrant , serve it on you , and then search your car! You cannot say no , because the right to drive a vehicle on a public road or highway is granted by the state !

You are right to some extent sir. But when it comes to searching a car they can't use any reason for probable cause as just saying there were some black duffle bags in the car. And any thing that requires a lock, they cannot search if it is locked. Such as your trunk to some extent but mainly things like your glove box or even if you put a safe in the car.

This^^^. Speeding does not gv reasonable suspicion nor cause for search.

Thats why vehicle inventory is done if car is impoundable.

Its like this if am looking for a 50" tv i cant look in a bag. Likewise am look for a gun i can and anything that could be attached like ammo so i could go as far as a sealed envolope.

I cant wait till sm1 sues Cosco! Stoping u to check the recipt and ur basket is illegal search and seizure.

Definitely you acted right, and didn't get him riled up with you. I'm not sure what the laws are in other states, but the cops have to be very careful about civil rights, and it's easy to sue the police dept if they should cause you grief about legally-possessed items. It could cost them $mils if they made a mistake, and confiscated your prescribed meds.

But aside from that, I personally would not carry anything in my gym bag except gym clothes and gloves, belt, chalk, etc. Gear belongs in whatever bag you keep your toothbrush, Rx bottles if any, and personal stuff in. Just looks better that way, IMHO.

True the state grants the right to drive a vehicle on there roads. But as an American you still have rights. And just cause you are pulled over for speeding does not give the POLICE, HIGHWAY PATROL, FEDS whom ever to search your vehicle. Its called PROBABLE CAUSE. And speeding does not grant them that right. Now knowing there is illegal drugs in the vehicle the best thing to do is not give consent. Gives your lawyer something to work with.
