ARFcops, would you consent to a search of your personal car during a traffic stop?

Inspired by the 12 year old "lawyer up" thread.

If a cop wanted to search my car after I identified myself, I'd probably look at him like he was mentally ill and say "No".

Only a mentally ill cop asks to search another cops car?

Does my car match the description of one seen leaving the area of a child abduction? Sure, go ahead.

I don't give off doper vibes so can't imagine a scenario where I'd be subject of that sort of thing

I had a local cop disarm me once after I identified myself during a traffic stop of my personal vehicle. I was in my jurisdiction (state), he was out of his jurisdiction (town). I was scruffy because I was working dope so I identified myself. I complied because no good would have come out of a side-of-the-road fight. I filled a complaint. Nothing happened.

The chucklehead let me draw my own pistol and place it on top of the car. It was bizarre.

I won't consent to a roadside search, neither should anyone else; however I'll continue to ask because criminals are stupid.

I would be very careful about drawing my weapon-even at the request of LE.

Unfortunately, I don't know what the right response/answer is.

You tinned him and he continued on? There are some real winners out there.
Generally, if you're a cop, fire turkey, doc, nurse....the next words I speak are, "Drive safe".

edit: though I'm not a police hater like arfcom is so well known for.

edit two: I have nothing in my car except, a snowboard/boats and clothes for said activity in a backpack. An ice scraper, two pens, one flash light, one thing of Purrell hand sanitizer and some chapstick...along with a cord to charge my phone.

edit three: I'm not a cop, but it's the internet and I wanted to share my opinion.

Don't forget the all inclusive "appeared to be impaired"
That's a good one they like using when you don't consent..
One way or the other if they want us out of the car, they'll make it happen then search the fucking thing anyway.

2 classes of citizens here, maybe you don't act that way, but many flatfoots do.

With that said, the thread you mention and this don't compare. In the other thread a juvy pickup order can be issued based on whatever the cops know of his involvement.

So you need probable cause to pick up an adult but a juvy can be arrested detained and taken to juvy or jail on mere suspicion?

I agree. Hell, I did that with almost everyone after my first 6 months or so. I think that's why I got sent to work dope.

The only thing I can think of is that I'd known him since I was a kid and I was a bit of a troublemaker. Maybe he didn't believe I was a cop. Who knows.

I gave him my ID, identified myself, he asked me to step out of the car, asked me to remove my pistol and place it on the roof, and then told me to slow down. He was always a weird dude, who knows...

As a cop I would have the same ability to say no, just like you.

Having said that that, I may consent to a search for a Suspect hiding in my trunk or something like that but not a full search of my vehicle.

I would request a supervisor before any search takes place.

No offense, but there are many layers to this issue and a knee jerk response wouldn't do them justice.

But the incidental search/inventorying of the vehicle after the arrest means you don't have to get PC to search.
