Not sure this is the right forum to post this but here it goes.
This is strictly hypothetical. This has not happened to me but wanted to get some input. Especially from any attorneys if so inclined.
Is it legal for a LEO to search your vehicle when stopped for a basic traffice violation (i.e. speeding, running a light, broken headlamp, etc)?
If they say they have "probably cause" like I smell pot, when you know there is none in the care and you don't do that, how do you react?
What would you do if a LEO asked to search your vehicle during a traffice stop?
I have nothing to hide and don't break the law. However, I also want to protect my constitutional rights from illegal seach.
Please chime in!
