too true. there have been a few instances around here where the police pulled people over for "excessively legal" driving. they used the fact that they were not doing anything wrong as an excuse to pull them over. once you roll the window down , they then claim to "smell cannabis" & seek to search you. so, basically, you are damned if you do & damned if you don't. break the law in any way, you get pulled over, searched & arrested. drive perfectly legally, get pulled over, dog sniffed, searched & arrested.
If you're afraid to assert your rights, you may as well not have any.
Cops don't like this but it works...
If you get pulled over.
Get out of your car, locking the keys inside with the windows UP! Obviously you will need a spare key stashed either on your car or on your person (as long as there are no pasengers).
Then, when the cop(s) start asksing questions... ASSERT YOUR RIGHT TO SILENCE!
If officer friendly asks to search your vehicle, ASSERT YOUR RIGHT TO PRIVACY!
Keep it in your mind, as well, that "probable cause IS NOT ENOUGH FOR AN IMMEDIATE SEARCH.
PROBABLE CAUSE, is a requirement, according to the DUE PROCESS CLAUSE, to obtain a warrant to search your property.
If you consent to a search...
ANYTHING they find can be used against you.
DO NOT CONSENT TO A SEARCH!
If they search anyway... NOTHING THEY FOUND CAN BE USED AGAINST YOU. Because they violated your Right to due process within the law.
If people were more concerned with "the law" instead of which OG Kush they had, we wouldn't be dealing with the mess we currently are.
