Anyone who knows me knows I don't do drugs, I don't drive around with open alcohol containers in my car (and with the exception of a few dumb childish mistakes I don't drink and drive), I don't drive around with weapons in my cars (which is not to say that many tools I carry for work reasons couldn't be viewed as weapons) but it would be a cold day in hell before I allowed a cop to just go threw my vehicle looking for something when left with a option of saying no, why some may ask and the reason is, because I refuse to let someone push me into a corner with threats of what might happen if I don't bitch up and let them do whatever they want. If everyone said well, I don't want to upset the officer and have him come down harder on me because of it, the laws that where made to protect our rights now carry no weight what so ever.
I have been in situations where I was having my car searched no matter what I said and usually it was left with me putting my stuff back in my car on the side of the road and going home, I also don't have anything against Police officers in general, I have met a few that I honestly think shouldn't be in that profession cause you give them a little bit of power and it goes to there head but most officers are just regular people trying to earn a buck, stay safe and keep neighborhoods safe. Its the bad one's that you will usually run into that spread the horror stories and that lead to cop bashing and its there fellow officers who should do something about it IMO. Good luck in court.
Just my 2 cents.
