Businessman upset about Tampa Police search of his truck - WFLA News Channel 8

Tampa police immediately declared that the search was legal, regardless of what was left behind in the truck.

The officer left his unique phone number if you want to chat.

The number is legit but he has yet to return my call.
Maybe he and his band of thugs are sittin in jail where they belong.

The truck is ugly.

But a commenter summed it up nicely: Land of the Free, where the smell (or the claim of the smell) of weed can make the 4th magically disappear.

If you guys had paid attention the video from the local TV station was embedded on the page as well as a link to the page on the stations website for the story and video again.

Not to mention a google search comes up with more, like the Tampa Bay Times.

There is not, however, a clear admission that TPD actually did this. It says TPD acknlodged the serch was legal, but did they ask a generalized scenario based question , or was the question specific to this particular incident? It says the response was via email, why not post so we can see the context of the question?

Why would PD acknowledge a legal search if they didn't actually do it?

Because some folks have a unique way of asking questions to get the answers they want?

Not buying it. TPD wouldn't comment on the legality of an action they didn't take.

do you know what question they asked?

do you know what question they asked?

How does it matter?

TPD can't comment on an activity they didn't do. And I seriously doubt they would. So a comment on the legality of THAT action involving THAT truck screams involvement.

Well if the media is reporting it, it must have happened like that.

Maybe he vandalized his own truck.
