Yeah they sure did. I thought it was funny because I said No, and instantly they handcuffed me and searched it anyways. Theres just no way for me to prove any of that, and I don't want to get targeted. There is already 1 cop who knows my sti, he will pull me over for no reason to harass me about the fact my friend wrecked my old one almost a year and a half ago. He pulled me over saying I was impatient (I had been waiting in the parking lot of gas station edged out for 2 mins waiting for light to change, then he floored it up behind me when I pulled out ). He was trying to see if I was drunk or anything, and he was raging like he was on meth or something, then he just bounced. It's a total joke, our cops here don't follow the rules. At least they stopped their tatic of randomly popping medians to scare the **** out of you for zero reason...

Honestly I know you will think i'm just being a weiner......but I've been pulled over countless times for no reason.......even my friends parents have had it happen and were pist.

 

Actually you have NFC what you are talking about.

If the cops have probable cause, they DONT NEED CONSENT. And guess who gets to determine probable cause - the cop. if you challenge it, the judge decides if it was probably cause, and guess who he is going to side with.

 

anyways, you guys think i'll have to pay 400?

 

Actually you have NFC what your talking about, it takes more than just a sleight of hand from the officer to have probable cause for a search. Are you an Ossifer or related to one? If so get it straight with either the Ossifers you know or your department.

 

Neither related nor am one.

Probable cause cannot be achieved by his refusal to consent to the search, but having a loud exhaust that 'looks' modified, hearing a BOV, or driving like an idiot or 'like he was racing' all qualify. I'm sure the OP falls into one of those or a similar category. It requires more than a sleight of hand, sure, but there is tremendous leeway given.

I'm not saying I think those are good reasons (they aren't, in my mind), but they do qualify and hold up (I've seen them hold up in court).

 

Well you should be careful being "sure of things" when you weren't there. Thats the dumbest thing i've ever heard, same type of assumptions that make people a-holes.
It was my 97 2.2 liter beater, automatic subaru. Not modified at all, no bov, no turbo, no driving like an idiot. I saw the cop the whole time and was driving the speed limit exactly. They pulled me over as a last resort as I was turning onto my street. Sorry pal, but they break the law all the time.....whether you want to believe it or not. It was at night, so unfortunately the rules for the cops to follow go out the window

 

Fair enough - thats not something I can assume about you or your driving.

Interesting - well, feel free to challenge the reasonable suspicion in court - I doubt you'll be successful, but its worth a try.

 

you might be able to go to court and talk to the judge, tell him/her your story and hopefully will lower your fee..my .02

 

Sorry I didn't mean to sound like a dick. Just people think because I have a modified car I was being an ***, but I wasn't even in it at the time. You would be angry too if you'd been pulled over for zero reason a bunch of times in the last 5 years. It's totally lame....................everybody in the area knows they do it. I won't even drive on thursday nights after 10 because I always get followed due to DUI quota filling, and it's just not worth it. I don't drink and drive as I rarely even drink, But I still get paranoid when im being followed for no reason. But yea sorry to sound like a dbag up above.

I don't even care about the search, Im just pist they didn't send me a damn ticket and I had no way to get it signed off, and 10 bucks went to 400.
