If the officer has probable cause to believe there is contraband or evidence of a crime in a vehicle, they may search it without a warrant.
(And you're really SOL if you're on a boat- there are a few safeguards if you are on a vehicle, esp. the "probable cause" bit, which don't apply to boats. _

Here's the thing...they can ASK you to open your trunk, and if you willingly do it, then they don't need a warrant. If they ask you, and you refuse, (if they want to pursue it further) they hold you and get a warrant (which they can now get, because by refusing, you've given them reasonable suspicion), and then search your trunk. So, basically, if they want to search your trunk, they're going to search your trunk, and if they have to go get a warrant, they're not going to be very nice about it, so you're better off just cooperating, no matter what's in there.

You are right. However, atleast where I am from.....it takes no time at all to get a warrant.......mabye a couple of minutes.

Yeah, but you make them do twice the amount of paperwork for the same amount of donuts, and they're not going to be nice about it.

As it is here as well. And as indicated, not only will they take your car apart, but your life as well......

Of course....if you simply tell the cop who your father (aka your Attorney) is.....there should be no problems.

No offense, but if I were a cop, and an adult tried to play the "Don't you know who my daddy is?" card, I'd do as much as I could to get said adult in as much trouble as humanly possible.
But, I don't think that's what the situation is here with the Emory bus being pulled by the University.

It's far more effective to cooperate with the cop and let his boss ream him out when they find out who your daddy is, anyway.

Hummmm-my father was both an Attorney and an Officer and he never played that game and told me never to to it either.
Told me to always treat the Officer as you would wish to be treated by them....and to put myself in their position.

I know you're too young to remember this, but your posts are starting to make me think of that song The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.
