If these guys want to search,...what do you do.
I heard that there has to be probable cause, and the only way to give them the right do search you otherwise is if you make a run for it (OOIDA article).
I have also heard about guys getting hassled by a bored cop (he let it slide).
I had a friend who's wife was questioned for being in the cab with the driver (they let it slide).
What do we do???
I have never been in the situation where I would have to say no to a search.
I run all my paperwork legal, have an on-board digital scale, and log it like I drive it.
I have nothing to hide, but don't want my truck tossed like others have had done (I assume they let it slide).
I know we have all heard it before, but there ARE bad cops out there. Some of these guys know less about the laws they enforce than the public.
I get tired of hearing about people who have had their rights abused, and who just write it off. The end result is a DOT/cop who gets off on the power trip, and does this nonsense on a regular basis.
If the situation came up,...would you let it slide,....or stand by your rights as an American.
