5 Reasons You Should Never Agree to a Police Search (Even if You Have Nothing to Hide)

    Plus, if they find a gun, even a perfectly legal one, you probably never will see it again, except maybe at your trial, even if innocent. Your mileage will vary by legal jurisdiction.

  2. SGB Says:

    If more people followed the advice given it would result in police understanding they are not THE law, but merely a guardian.

  3. Greg Says:

    Also, never talk to the police.

    I didn’t even bother to read the linked five reasons. Just don’t consent. There is nothing the police can do if you don’t permit them that they could not do a lot easier if you permit them. Tell them to keep their donut picking hands off your property. “Sir, in that case we’ll get a warrant”. “What’s stopping you?”

    Come back with a warrant.

    I once found a wallet in the cargo area, after I had left the rear vent windows open when parked. My assumption was that someone had found the wallet on the ground adjacent, and presumed that it had been dropped by someone getting out of my vehicle, so they thought that they were returning it.
    It does make me think two or three times before I ever leave my vehicle unattended with any unsecured opening now. I spend part of the year in part of the country where most of my neighbors don’t even have locks on their doors, but I’ve started keeping my car closed up tight even there.

    I told a cop “no” on a traffic stop once so he arrested me and performed an “inventory search”. I found out in court that I was technically arrested for running a stop sign.

    Apparently, I am extraordinarily suspicious looking and so when the police ask to search my car my response is “If you let me search your car and rummage through your stuff then I *might* let you search my car.”

  9. SDN Says:

    Don’t talk to cops without a lawyer and your own video/audio equipment present. Period. This is the Scooter Libby era, where any difference in your later recollection of the conversation from anyone else can be construed as perjury.

  10. hilljohnny Says:

    the police police back home always asked “Do you mind if I search your car?” if you answer “no” you have given permission. if you answer “yes” they told the judge “I asked for permission to search and he said yes.” be careful.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
