did i ever tell you guys about the time i got pulled over in utah yesterday, frisked on the side of the road, and guarded by backup while og deputy dewey searched my car for drugs with his k9 unit bc i have an earring and california plates and am therefore probably a criminal ??

dang that's legal?
he asked if he could bring his dog out, and then again to search, and i said yes bc frankly i don’t understand the law as well as i should and was nervous about what might happen if i didn’t say yes

“You can’t be detained against your will on the side of the road for a drug dog to sniff your car. It has to be done while you’re being held for another legal reason.”https://smolandlaw.com/drug-dogs-and-police-searches-in-utah/ …

Good idea to know what you should and shouldn't do in advance. Your rights can vary state by state, but are generally based on Constitutional rights, so shouldn't vary much. Lots of handy guides out there.https://www.aclunc.org/our-work/know-your-rights/know-your-rights-police-interactions …

They usually ask it in the negative, "is there any reason I can't search your car?" Always say, "yes, the constitution." There is an Ohio case that states they can't use your refusal to let them search as probable cause to search.

You have fourth amendment rights and you can say no ;-)

Same thing happened to me but I refused the search saying they had no probable cause. Magically the dog threw a signal and they strip searched the car anyway. 45 minutes later they released me because they found nothing.

Lesson learned I hope. "I absolutely forbid you to search this vehicle. Let me be on my way."

what i say: "sure, you can search my vehicle but first you need to give me permission to search your wife's vehicle"
