[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tha91SiCkNeSs: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by 166 Merlot: [qb] i like this thread. but i "heard" that if the officer pulls you over and you refuse to let him search, that is probable cause rigght ther. so instead of refusing what do you do? ask him for what his probablecause is? [/qb][/QUOTE]Thats definately not probable cause. A few things that have to be understood. A Cop can pull you over FOR ANY REASON. Its all based on judgement. However, everything he DOES in the traffic stop has to HOLD UP IN COURT. That is the key. So, an officer can claim he pulled you over for loud exhaust. That is DEFINATELY probable cause that your exhaust system is modified. It is not however, probable cause to start flinging a flashlight all up in the car, he can't search under the hood, and can't go into your glovebox, etc. The exhaust decibel level has nothing to do with illegal modifications under the hood, i.e. Fuel-Press Reg, No Smog Pump, etc. It does not have anything to do with what you have in your glovebox..get the point? This is why it is IMPORTANT that you carry a little tape recorder around. For example, an officer pulls you over for speeding, and wants to look under your hood, uh-huh, ain't happening. Just talk to him (while recording) about what his probable cause is to search, note the time of day, why he pulled you over, etc. The more he talks about his "probable cause" the larger the hole he is digging. If he forces you to look under the hood, ask for his superior. HE CANNOT decline to be recorded. The peace officer can be recorded at ANY time. Make sure to be polite and understanding, but you HAVE TO HOLD TO YOUR RIGHTS. All this will hold up in court. GUARENDAMNTEE it gets thrown out. I'm definately not supporting to modify illegally and race on the streets, but if you are a law abiding citizen, NO ONE deserves to be hassled for no reason. [/QB][/QUOTE]
