For everyone confused about why the authorities are allowed to  search your home and vehicle without a warrant it is due to a little thing called the Patriot Act. You can have all of your stuff searched or be detained without reason all in the name of terrorism.

 

 

Info regarding the Patriot Act from Wikipedia:

 

The USA PATRIOT Act, commonly known as the Patriot Act, is an Act of Congress that President George W. Bush signed into law on October 26, 2001. The acronym stands for: Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law Pub.L. 107-56).

 

The Act expanded the authority of U.S. law enforcement agencies for the stated purpose of fighting terrorism in the United States and abroad. Among its provisions, the Act increased the ability of law enforcement agencies to search telephone and e-mail communications and medical, financial and other records; eased restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; expanded the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities; and enhanced the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of terrorism-related acts. The act also expanded the definition of terrorism to include "domestic terrorism," thus enlarging the number of activities to which the Patriot Act’s expanded law enforcement powers can be applied.

 

 

 

 

The Patriot Act does not give law enforcement officers the right to violate your 4th amendment rights during a traffic stop.  If you are arrested then your car will be searched incident to arrest.  If you have not been arrested then you have the right to refuse a search of your vehicle.   

 

If it has been determined that you are a potential terrorist, then the Patriot Act allows law enforcement agencies certain additional rights.  In which case the local law enforcement agency would be in direct contact with the FBI throughout the entire process.

 

 

Thanks for answering that one.

Also of course there is probably cause....if you get pulled over and the officer smells burnt marijuana..that gives him probable cause to search you and your vehicle anywhere the marijuana could be concealed..

 

 

So does that mean if I'm pulled over and the officer smells some super dank in my car but it's still green, he can't search my car?  ;D

Super Dank LOL.
