VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Partial correction ... Author: Walter Richards [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09/ 7/06 9:58am In reply to: Legal Minded 's message, "4th Ammendment, ever heard of it? Since we are all innocent why bother having a constitution?" on 09/ 4/06 3:24pm Quote: "As an automobile driver an officer that pulls you over does not have the right to search your vehicle without just cause." Courts have repeatedly ruled you don't have an "expectation of privacy" in your car. The officer CAN search your car ... just not a full search. IE: Anything lying in the open is fair game. Which basically means the only things an officer can't search (unless you count secret compartments) are the glove box and trunk. And if you keep your insurance/title papers in the glove box - as most people do - the officer can "search" that as soon as you open it to retreive those papers. And even then, when you cross the border, they don't need a warrant to fully search your car. Their only "cause" is that you're entering the country (legally, I might add).
