And if you're person who plans ahead, you drive a Ford with an external keypad entry, leave the keys in the car, and lock it on your way out. Admittedly, you have to be smooth about it and get it done before you get a specific order to drop the keys outside the car and/or leave the windows down but it's always worth a try."step out of the car, we're going to do a roadside drug test" to the driver... passengers have to get out for the officer's safety.
So you are stoned and driving, have a wreck, (your fault) how does the traffic cop test you for DUI at the scene???
"step out of the car, we're going to do a roadside drug test" to the driver... passengers have to get out for the officer's safety.
but I suppose you think all cops lie and are out to get you...
I didn't say to make it a jailable offense for weed... I said "Citation" (like a traffic ticket)
yeah, you're in the crapper there... wouldn't matter if you were smuggling high-water use toilets rather than weed in that case... remember they finally got Al Capone on tax evasion, even if they couldn't get anything else to stick.I understand what a citation is, thanks. I just want to make sure when I'm driving with 30 pounds of weed from Colorado to Texas and get caught that I'm only getting a ticket. If they dont catch me then, when I turn around and start selling the shit out of it, its just a ticket? The IRS is going to love that.
just because you seem fixated on it... so I figured there was a reason.Your assumption is valid why?
Again:
Weed is legalized? So what if there's an odor, that does not indicate any evidence of a crime hence no probable cause.
Consequently: " I do not consent to any searches...." Stands.
The IRS doesn't love it. They're neutral on the source of your income. Just report it and pay your taxes and the IRS is fine with you.The IRS is going to love that.

But I guess just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you.
Good thing I don't exist just to impress people on the internet.As expected...
Fools abound.
So this give cops grounds to do what I referenced? Yes or no?Well 1. You were pulled over for another reason to constitute the stop.
Your assumption is valid and is an honest response to what I actually said why?2. Do you really want people smoking pot operating a vehicle.
Not from me you won't, it is the law and you will abide by it or violate the law as well as my civil rights in an effort to skirt around it.3. Patrol can get voluntary consent, happens all the time
So far as I know excessive speeding and/ or reckless driving along with driving on a suspended / revoked drivers licence are the only arrestable traffic violations.4. If I really want to search the car, I can arrest you for the traffic offense and do a search incident to arrest.
Shhh, don't expose the scam. I use to wake up every day and ask who I could screw over. I always smelled that stuff when I wanted to illegally search a car. I carried a small baggie of weed I`d "find" under the seat to better my jail stats. I guess If I was still on patrol I`d have to come up with another pretext/lie.
As a police officer, your job is to uphold and abide by the law, consequently what is in my car is none of your damned business.C`Mon, this is the internet, what is in your car?

And some of you wonder why I raised the issue I did......
It has been said that arguing on the internet is akin to competing in the Special Olympics.
Texas allows peace officers to arrest you for any traffic offense except speeding, open container, or wireless communications use.
"I KNOW MY RIGHTS, YOU CAN"T JUST" <thump, click> (sound of head hitting hood, and handcuffs)There's one internet lawyer on here that really needs to study Texas law before opening mouth.
