I usually try to have my wallet out in my hand or lap before they get to the car, but yes, hands on the wheel so they can see them.

If he can actually find one that drinks beer .

They'd be a lot easier to find than ANY cop or DA that would give a crap about either .

Yep. Let's all break the law and buy alcohol for underaged kids. Who knows, if they get caught, we can come to see their bad discharge. Unless we are in jail after they testify where they got the beer.

I guarantee that the military cares and if they catch them, they will be punished. At least if in the AF. It may be different in other services.

You need to book ahead to snag some room in one of his cavities. Everyone here knows that.

I just found out about this 9mm gifting business Monday night.

I emptied everything and kept "stuff" separated and buried but not silly deep. I pulled back the slide thingie and locked it (Per advice from the member formally known as Cabmando). Also put a zip tie throught the barrell and joined the ends.

Two West Virginia Staties were at the Taco Bell parked right next to me at a WV gas station complex. One held the door for me as my hip has been hurting bad and I was using my Dad's cane to go in and order two Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burritos since I learned about them from Steve the turtle guy.

I said Thank you, Sir and I chose not to say "Hay you dweebs can't search my car without a warrent, right?"

I thought that was pretty smart.

I ate both burritos. Just over 1,000 calories.

Drove on the rest of the way home just a couple miles over the speed limit of 70.

Good day, though drizzily.

It could have been a lot worse...if you stopped at McD's

A woman I knew told me a story that once upon a time...she was going over the Bay Bridge when she was stopped by the popo, somehow they had probable cause to open the trunk of her car..in the trunk was a padlocked tool box..because they didn't have a warrant to search the car they let her go. If there was no padlock they could have opened it and found 2 Keys of Coke in the box.

That "probable cause" has to be presented to a judge, who must agree and issue a warrant. A closed trunk cannot be opened in the absence of a warrant, unless she was foolish enough to agree to open it.

Interesting that they stopped at the padlocked tool box. We enjoy what the courts have named as a "reasonable expectation of privacy" regarding any such closed container, locked or not. Her closed trunk falls into that very same category.

Essentially, if they cannot see it from outside of the car, it's off limits. That's why, when asked to get out of a vehicle, we remove the key from the ignition and lock the vehicle behind us. They cannot open the door without a warrant. Same "reasonable expectation of privacy".

Doesn't work so well on a motorcycle... Closed saddlebags, or tank bags, even if it's just a zipper on the tank bag do, however, provide that same "reasonable expectation of privacy".

I've known this for a long time, but I was just wondering about that with the new "comfort access" key fobs. I can get out and lock my car, but if I'm standing a foot or two from it with the key in my pocket, I'm pretty sure the door will still open. I suppose the cop would want me to stand farther away and I'd hope that my locking the door would be rock solid evidence that I did not consent to the search.

The mere fact that it is closed indicates you have not consented to a search, and have denied access. Being locked is not necessary. It's just "icing on the cake", should it ever come to that.

I did get told to hand over my keys while pulled over in my 993 by a cop in an unmarked Camaro. But I think it was because he thought I might run.

D@mn, that sounds tasty (AKA you had me at "chipotle ranch"). That turtle dude is OK, until he starts singing the praised of Taco Bell.
